Needs one of the hands fix, no working.About this item:Vanitie lost to Resolute in the 1914 trials. Defense of the cup was put off during World War I. The 1920 campaign was not successful and Vanitie lost 7–4 in the final selection series, against Resolute which went on to successfully defend the America's Cup on behalf of the New York Yacht Club. Please before you make an offer take a look at the pictures is an 110 year old piece so has wear and tear and scratches that can be polish at Cartier.

this is a very awesome piece of nostalgia! I Googled and found that Vanitie was up against Resolute in the 1914 trials for the America's Cup. have you thought of approaching Cartier to see if they would purchase this from you? I know they purchase items of significance. Another option would be to see if the America's Cup organization might be interested in buying.

A third option is to contact an antiques dealer who specializes in Cartier and/or nautical items to get the price (or more) you're asking for.
My sincerest recommendation is that ANYONE who purchases this, please, please, PLEASE take it or send it to Cartier to have them work on this historic piece.
This truly is a piece of history that needs to be taken care of by whoever is the owner.
Best wishes for selling this fantastic watch!

BTW you don't want to polish this as it will take the patina off which will SIGNIFICANTLY decrease the value of the item. I know from experience as I have been collecting antique jewelery for over 30 years!
