Cartier Tank Louis

What do General Pershing, Muhammed Ali, and Jackie Kennedy all have in common? Voilà, le Tank! Ranked among the most iconic designs in horological history, the Cartier Tank transcends the passing fancies of trend and remains as elegant as it ever was. For over a century it has graced the wrists of the world’s most famed musicians, athletes, actors, and more. Subtle and graceful, there is perhaps no better example of a watch design with staying power. This beautiful example, plated in yellow gold and featuring a blue cabochon crown and an acrylic crystal, features a white dial with chemin de fer minute track, ‘Roman’ numerals, and a set of blued ‘sword’ hands. Furthermore, it has a coveted ‘Paris’-signed dial, signifying that it emanates from the maison’s French headquarters. Manually wound and paired to a signed black lizard strap with a gold-plated pin buckle, its excellent proportions make it a unisex masterpiece. An essential part of any respectable watch collection, this Tank Louis is particularly attractive due to its more affordable gold-plated case. Indeed, if you’re looking to add one to your watch box without breaking the bank, this is your opportunity!
