Offered here is a timeless example of the Cartier Tank, a design icon that has endured for over a century. This particular piece, dating from the 1970s, features a gold-plated case and a dial that has gracefully aged with a fine eggshell craquelure—a beautifully subtle patina prized by enthused collectors.
The dial layout remains classically Cartier: black Roman numerals, an inner chemin-de-fer minute track, and blued-steel sword-shaped hands, all hallmarks of the brand’s design ethos. The elongated blue cabochon crown—more elegant than later, shorter iterations—adds further distinction to the piece. Powered by a manual-wind movement, this Tank remains faithful to its heritage as a slim, dress-focused timepiece. It is paired with a black lizard strap and fitted with a Cartier gold-plated tang buckle. A characterful vintage Tank with charm and patina in all the right places—perfect for the collector who values history as much as elegance.
Has developed a wonderful patina, normal wear consistent with age.
