Designed personally by Louis Cartier in 1917 and patterned after an army tank, Cartier's iconic Tank watch symbolized speed and achievement. Cartier Tanks, already known as a true iconic watch, have seen an explosion in popularity in the last year.
Today's offering showcases this beautiful Certified Pre-Owned ladies Cartier Tank watch. It has an iconic tank case, Cartier numberless dial, gold "epee" hands, and sapphire topped crown, and mechanical Cartier movement.
Its beautiful navy blue dial complements its original dark navy blue Cartier strap.
Before cost-cutting measures brought about the widespread use of cheaper quartz movements for many wristwatches, Cartier contracted with watch manufacturers to produce mechanical movements designed to last a lifetime. Using traditional watchmaking practices, these gifted craftsmen gave individual attention to each wristwatch. As a result, Cartier wristwatches with mechanical movements are often more sought after by collectors than their quartz counterparts.
Our Cartier Tank, has all of its original parts down to its original spring bars to hold the band! It is in truly gorgeous condition. The watch presents as a 9.7 out of 10. Its case presents as mint. And its original dial is mint. On the wrist it presents like new, and the band is in very good condition.
A Master Watchmaker has just freshly overhauled the movement. It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time on par with a brand new Cartier in our testing position.
It comes equipped with its original Cartier band buckle. For the finishing touch we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
