Cartier Tank

Cartier Tank Louis Cartier Large — 18 ct Yellow Gold • Cream Dial • Brown Crocodile Strap — Like New

Overview

The Cartier Tank is not merely a watch — it is one of the most consequential objects ever designed. Created in 1917 by Louis Cartier, inspired by the aerial view of the Renault tanks advancing on the Western Front, the Tank set the template for the modern dress watch and has never once been out of fashion in more than a century. It has been worn by Andy Warhol, Jackie Kennedy, Princess Diana, and generations of the world’s most discerning wearers. There is no watch more timelessly elegant.

The Tank Louis Cartier Large in 18 ct yellow gold is the purest and most prestigious expression of this legendary design. The warm, luminous yellow gold case — with its characteristic “brancards” rails running the length of the case — frames a cream dial of extraordinary refinement, its black Roman numerals and railway-track minute scale rendered with the precision and artistry that only Cartier can achieve. The signature blued-steel hands and blue sapphire cabochon crown complete a composition of perfect, enduring harmony. The brown crocodile leather strap adds a final note of classical luxury.

Presented in like new condition with full original set, this Tank Louis Cartier Large is a rare and exceptional acquisition — one of the great icons of watchmaking and jewellery at its finest.
