Designed personally by Louis Cartier in 1917 and patterned after an army tank, Cartier's Tank watch symbolized speed and achievement and has become one of the company's iconic models.

Since its birth, the Cartier Tank Francaise has been a classic, uniting elegance with function, form with comfort.

Today's offering showcases this Certified Pre-Owned ladies Tank Francaise in uncommon 18K white gold. It is 100% Cartier down to the original 18K white gold Cartier buckle and presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10.

This small size Tank Francaise features a stylish tank case, classic silver Roman dial with blue steel hands, sapphire topped crown, and Cartier Swiss made quartz movement which never needs to be wound.

Its case present as just short of perfect mint. Its dial and sapphire crystal are both like new.

Our Master Watchmaker has installed a new battery, replaced the waterproofing seals with new genuine Cartier gaskets, and performed any needed servicing.

We have installed a brand new aftermarket very high quality handmade crocodile strap with so-called soft "Cartier lining" like what is found o the company's bands and the watch's original 18K white gold Cartier tang buckle. For the finishing touch we have 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 full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.

A gorgeous condition Tank Francaise that looks nearly like new for a fraction of the retail price.
