Designed personally by Louis Cartier in 1917 and patterned after an army tank, Cartier's iconic Tank watch symbolized speed and achievement.
Today's offering showcases this Certified Pre-Owned ladies vermeil Cartier Tank watch. It has an iconic tank case, classic white Roman dial, blackened gold epee hands, sapphire topped crown, and original Cartier Swiss mechanical movement.
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 poured individual attention into each wristwatch. As a result, Cartier wristwatches with mechanical movements are often more sought after by collectors than their quartz counterparts.
It is fully Cartier.
It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition. On the wrist it presents like new.
As part of the restoration a Master Watchmaker has just freshly serviced the movement. It is running strong and true.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new lizard strap similar in style to the lizard bands that often came on these Tanks 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.
