For the vast majority of watches, polishing makes it possible to remove or reduce scratching on gold or steel surfaces. Given that this operation involves the removal of a fine layer of metal, we recommend you not to have this service carried out more than:
- Twice in the lifetime of a watch made of white gold,
- Three times in the lifetime of a watch made of yellow gold.
Check beforehand with our Cartier watchmakers that your model can be polished.
