1970s Mini Tank Louis 18k Gold Paris Dial

This may be one of the most charming Cartier Tanks, a rarely seen miniature example from the 1970s. It carries all of the familiar Tank Louis design elements, scaled down into a wonderfully compact 15mm case.

The white “Paris” dial features classic black Roman numerals and blued-steel hands. Its blue cabochon crown feels particularly pronounced against the miniature proportions, while crisp French assay marks remain visible along the case side and case back.

Powered by Cartier caliber 345, an 18-jewel manual-wind movement based on a Jaeger-LeCoultre ébauche, the watch is fitted with a Cartier black lizard strap and secured by a Cartier 18k yellow gold deployant clasp.

Small in scale but unmistakably Cartier, with a presence that is best appreciated in hand.
