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

Cartier

Item No. 5812

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 ladies vermeil Cartier Tank watch. It has an iconic tank case, classic 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 the watch presents essentially like new. As part of the restoration the movement has just cleaned and oiled.

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.
