Lot Essay

Exhibiting a mellow vintage charm, this yellow gold Tank Cintrée displays the dignified and elegant presence which has made the model one of Cartier’s most eternally popular wristwatches. Housing a Cartier signed movement, the curved elongated case with gold bar lugs has polished upper surfaces at each side, the sides and back have a brushed finish, the hallmarks on the back and side of the case are crisp and clear as are the serial numbers. The painted white dial features Roman numerals and the signature ‘Cartier Paris’. Accompanied by a Cartier gold deployant clasp, this Tank Cintrée is a highly appealing example of what can only be described as 'the genius of Cartier'.

The Tank Cintrée, or ‘curved’ in French, is arguably the most elegant Cartier Tank watch ever made. An icon of good taste, it was launched in 1921, the name derives from its elongated, slightly curved case, designed to provide a perfect fit on the wrist. Confirming its timeless appeal, the Cartier Tank Cintrée is still part of the current collection. Only produced in small quantities over the years, the Tank Cintrée has always been highly sought-after by collectors.

Appreciation and understanding of Cartier’s 20th century wristwatches increases year on year and any significant rarity that appears at auction creates international interest and is fiercely pursued. Always one of the ultimate symbols of discreet luxury, the Tank Cintrée is one of the most desirable models among classic Cartier wristwatches.
