Condition Report:
Immediately you'll notice this unique dial which is captivating in nature. It is made from a black lacquer with printed gold Roman numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9, along with diamond shaped hour markers. Since the dial is lacquered it features a charming cracking effect giving it more dimension which many collectors seek. The vermeil case is in great condition with only minor hairline scratches evident. The sapphire crown winds well and sits subtly at 3 o'clock. This watch is powered by a quartz movement which has recently been serviced and a new battery has been installed. We've placed this watch's approximate year of production within the 1990's.
Cartier Tank History:
One of the most recognisable and well sought after watches. Throughout history there have been many famous Cartier Tank owners from Muhammed Ali, Andy Warhol, Princess Diana and Jacquie Kennedy. Today the Cartier Tank is one of the must have dress watches in someone's collection be it male or female.
Louis Cartier invented the Cartier Tank in 1917. Known today as the brand's most iconic watch, the name and design are derived from the Renault FT-17, a French tank that was used in combat throughout World War One. Using rectangular and square lines as the shape of the watch, it keeps a relatively slim profile.
