Cartier is undoubtedly one of the most renowned and influential jewellery and watch brands in both fields. It is also widely recognised as a brand more focused on design than the chronometric performance of its movements, like other traditional watchmakers. Iconic models such as the Tank, Santos, Baignoire and Panthère are still celebrated today for their timeless aesthetic, setting Cartier apart in the watchmaking world.

The Tank is Cartier's most iconic model. It first appeared in 1917, but only went on sale at the end of the war in 1919. Its design was inspired by a Renault FT-17 Tank seen from above. Certain elements have remained unchanged since its creation: the two vertical brancards that extend the case and allow the strap to be integrated, the railway minute track and Roman numerals on the dial, and the sapphire cabochon on the winding crown. 

The model shown here was introduced in 2023 as part of the Cartier Privé collection (a collector's collection that celebrates and explores the House's legendary models through limited-edition, numbered watches).

This model, made in platinum with a leather strap, is limited to 200 pieces. Its case measures 32.6 x 25.7 mm and features classic design elements, with a faceted glass adding depth to the whole and a vertical brushed finish on the dial for a more modern feel than the classic white/cream. Since the late 1970s, Cartier has used a secret signature on its dials to prevent counterfeiting. Here, this signature hidden in the number VII reads ‘1917’ (instead of the usual ‘Cartier’), paying subtle homage to the year of its birth.

This model is equipped with the hand-wound mechanical calibre 070, which has a power reserve of 38 hours.

The watch is delivered with its box, outer case, international warranty card and manual.
