About this item

• Brand: Cartier
• Collection: Tank
• Model: Tank
• Reference: W1525351

This is a platinum piece from the “Tank Louis Cartier” collection, which shines brilliantly in the annals of watchmaking history and was produced in a limited run of just 70 pieces in 1997 to commemorate Cartier’s 150th anniversary. It is the pinnacle of the so-called “pre-CPCP” models, having been one of the first to anticipate and embody the design elements—such as the high-end hand-wound movement and delicate guilloché dial—of the legendary mechanical collection “CPCP (Collection Privée Cartier Paris),” which officially launched the following year in 1998. Set against a beautifully undulating salmon-pink dial, the rare micro-lettering—where the words “louis cartier” form a continuous circular pattern in place of the standard railway-track indices—is an ultimate masterpiece that can be admired only on this single piece, past or present.
