Cartier Vintage Ladies Tank Mechanical Watch - Gold Vermeil, 18K Gold over Sterling Silver

Cartier

Item No. 7070ST

Worn by Jennifer Aniston, Anna Wintour, and the late Princess Diana, the company's watches have long been worn by royalty, Hollywood celebrities, and any woman desiring to wear a luxury timepiece.

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, gold epee hands, sapphire topped crown, and original mechanical Cartier 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 has just finished a true expert 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.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new Java lizard strap in the same style as the bands that often came on these Tanks along with the watch's original buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
