WHY WE CURATED IT:
Minimalist SM Tank version devoid of indices but with a Double-C signature at 6. The Bordeaux dial with gold hands, case and dial text is a sumptuous, classic variation adjacent to Cartier’s eminent burgundy palette. It’s thought Cartier made accessible versions of the Tank Louis Cartier, the most iconic dress watch ever, because everyone “Must” own a Tank (hence “Must de Cartier”). More affordable, but still in luxurious 925 silver with thick 20 micron gold plating. Serviced and restored by Cartier with 2-year movement warranty from 2024. Cartier service papers, Cartier buckle, aftermarket strap and Cartier box included.
CONDITION:
Excellent 9/10, with hardly any signs of use. Crystal clean except for barely visible microscopic marks/spots. Dial, hands, crown, cabochon are immaculate. Caseback covered with Cartier service sticker, with engravings/hallmarks clearly visible. New aftermarket strap with original Cartier buckle in like-new condition. Movement is quartz-accurate; serviced and battery changed by Cartier in 2024 with a 2-year warranty.
