Cartier Gondole Jumbo Horizontal

When you think of Cartier, their longstanding history in Jewelry probably comes to mind. But, they also have a renowned reputation for making timeless and elegant timepieces for just over 100 years.  The Tank Louis is without question their most well-known model, but the story doesn't end there. Beyond their Tank line are numerous executions - many produced in very limited quantities - that are quite literally some of the most beautiful timepieces ever made. This particular example, a Gondole Jumbo model, dates to circa the 1970s and is in excellent condition throughout. It features a 38 x 34mm tonneau-shaped 18k yellow gold case with Cartier's ubiquitous cabochon winding crown, glossy white dial with printed Roman indices, a matching blued-steel 'sword' handset, and a manually-winding movement. Although large by Cartier standards, this piece is appropriate for any wrist - with its slender stance on the wrist is as effortlessly comfortable as it is elegant!
