A beautifully preserved Cartier Tank Must from the 1970s, this example is gold-plated to 20 microns and accompanied by its original Cartier box, along with a period New York service price list—offering a glimpse into the remarkably low servicing costs of the era and the accessible positioning of the Must line.

The watch features the brand’s signature white Roman numeral dial, blued steel hands, and an elongated blue cabochon crown, all hallmarks of Cartier’s timeless design language. It is powered by a caliber 78 ETA manual wind movement, reflecting a thoughtful blend of cost-conscious materials with traditional mechanical craftsmanship—introduced as a response to the Quartz Crisis.
