Before cost-cutting measures brought about the widespread use of quartz movements for certain wristwatches, Cartier utilized Swiss-crafted mechanical movements. Using centuries old watchmaking practices, craftsmen poured individual attention into each wristwatch.
Today's offering showcases this beautifully restored vintage ladies Cartier Tank. It has a solid 18K gold tank case, classic original white Roman dial with blue steel hands, sapphire topped crown, and Cartier handwound mechanism.
It is fully Cartier and presents on the wrist in gorgeous condition - on the wrist it presents as just short of perfect mint. Its dial has just been restored by one of the leading dial experts in North America.
One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it.
For the finishing touch it comes equipped it with an expensive aftermarket crocodile strap with so-called soft Cartier lining making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
