Vintage Cartier Bracelet Tubogas 18k Gold Stainless Steel

A vintage Cartier bracelet in the classic Tubogas style, made from 18k gold and stainless steel. Tubogas is a flexible coil design known for its distinctive look and smooth, continuous form. The signature ribbed structure allows the bracelet to expand slightly for a comfortable fit.
The Tubogas technique was inspired by industrial gas pipes used in the early 20th century. Jewelers developed a method of wrapping metal strips tightly around a core without using solder, creating the flexible, coiled structure that defines the style. The design became widely popular in the 1940s and later adopted by luxury houses including Cartier. Over time, it became one of the most recognizable bracelet styles in vintage fine jewelry.
This tubogas gold bracelet has a wider profile than many traditional Tubogas designs, which gives it a more substantial look on the wrist. It works well for everyday wear while still making a strong visual impression due to its bold size.

Condition note: there is a dent in the center that is mostly visible on the inside of the bracelet. It is unnoticeable when worn, but it should be acknowledged. Please review the photos and video carefully for a closer look at this area.
