Designed personally by Louis Cartier in 1917 and patterned after an army tank, Cartier's Tank watches symbolized speed and achievement and have become one of the company's iconic models.

Before cost-cutting measures brought about the widespread use of quartz movements for certain wristwatches, Cartier utilized Swiss-crafted mechanical movements. Using centuries old watchmaking practices, craftsmen poured individual attention into each wristwatch.

Today's offering showcases this beautiful vintage ladies Cartier Tank. It has a solid 18K gold tank case, classic original white Roman dial with blue steel hands, sapphire topped crown, and Cartier handwound mechanism.

It is fully Cartier and presents on the wrist in beautiful condition - on the wrist it presents as just short of mint. Our watchmaker has freshly cleaned and oiled the movement.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Worn by Jennifer Aniston, Anna Wintour, and the late Princess Diana, the company's watches have long been favorites of royalty, Hollywood celebrities, and any woman desiring to wear a timepiece of distinction.
