1970s Must de Cartier Tank | Mécanique | Onyx Lacquer Dial | 18k Vermeil

WHY IS THIS WATCH IMPORTANT

With its instantly recognizable rectangular case, The Cartier Tank is one of the most well-known watches out there.

This outstanding example has its beaded winding crown capped with a blue spinel cabochon. The rectangular onyx lacquered dial with Roman numerals around a rail-track minute circle is in great condition, the hands are rhodiumized sword-shaped.

The movement is highly decorated with Côtes de Genève.

An icon in design, one can like it or not but never underestimate the importance of this beautiful and perfectly balanced design. You can find many of these out there in quartz but one in manual winding and in this condition is really something special.

CONDITION
This watch is in overall very nice condition, the case is unpolished and sharp on the edges with minor superficial scratches, the gold vermeil is complete with no missing spots. The dial is nearly flawless, bright, and crisp that shines with the light.

This watch comes with the original Cartier signature buckle.

The watch keeps good time and it's in working order.
