SIGNED CARTIER, PARIS, TANK ASYMÉTRIQUE MODEL, CASE NO. A 113'464, NO. 211/300, CIRCA 1996

The elegant 'Tank Asymètrique' model was launched in 1996 in a limited edition of 300 examples in yellow gold and 100 in platinum. It is a re-adaptation of Cartier’s 1936 'Parallelogram' model. The tilted case shape, combined with pronounced Arabic numerals, was chosen to facilitate the reading of time while driving.
