Lot Essay

The present Tank is a very rare version of this model and it stands out by the rare feature of having the subsidiary seconds. We believe that less than a handful of these have appeared in the last 30 years of international auctions.
The present watch is in a good overall condition considering its age and has retained all of its original charm.
