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.
The dial is a beautiful shade of brown, similar to chocolate brown except with a very slightly more reddish hue than true chocolate brown. And the gold crown with orange-brown stone complements it beautifully.
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 is in truly gorgeous condition. It presents as a 9.6 out of 10. Its case presents as just short of perfect mint. Its dial has been expertly refinished - the printing could pass as Cartier factory done even under magnification.
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.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One has done authorized work for the Cartier Service Center and other of the Richemont brands including Vacheron & Constantin, IWC, JLC and others.
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap and aftermarket Cartier style buckle and 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.
