Cartier Giverny 51-20 – Vintage French Masterpiece in Wood and Gold (1990)
An exceptional find for true connoisseurs — the Cartier Giverny 51-20 is a rare and iconic model from Cartier’s legendary early 1990s collection. This particular pair, crafted in France, exemplifies the maison’s mastery in blending timeless design with refined materials.
The frame combines 22k gold-plated hardware with wood genuine temples, offering a unique tactile contrast and organic aesthetic that only Cartier dared to explore at the time. The iconic “Godron” bridge and triple-barrel temple hinges echo the luxury codes of Parisian design in the late 20th century. Both temples are stamped clearly with "Cartier Paris" and model specifications, including the 130B temple length - a mark of authenticity and period accuracy.
This exact model was produced during a short window of Cartier's golden eyewear era (circa 1989–1992), making it highly collectible and increasingly difficult to find in the market — especially in this preserved condition.
Condition:
Pre-owned and gently used
Optical lenses with prescription (can be replaced)
Wooden temples intact, free from cracks or damage
Nose pads original, pristine condition
One of the metal Cartier logos on the temple has a slight imperfection (see photos)
All engravings inside and outside the frame are crisp and legible
Non-original case included
Size: 51–20, temple length 130B
A remarkable piece for collectors, Cartier lovers, or anyone seeking a wearable piece of design history. These frames are no longer in production and have become increasingly sought after due to their craftsmanship and scarcity.
Why it matters:
Vintage Cartier sunglasses in full original sets are increasingly rare, especially in this iconic gold & wood configuration. This pair balances rarity, design, and functionality — ideal for collectors, stylists, or anyone who wants a piece of design history with presence and elegance.
