Notes
Founded in 1847 in Paris, Cartier has long been regarded as the “jeweller of kings and king of jewellers,” known for its refined aesthetic and enduring design language. The Cartier Tank, introduced in 1917 and inspired by the form of a military tank viewed from above, remains one of the most iconic wristwatches ever created. This example, a vermeil Tank Ref. 6-81006, combines the elegance of the original design with the practicality of a quartz movement and a sterling silver case plated in gold. Presented in working order, it embodies Cartier’s timeless sophistication and effortless Parisian style.
