SIGNED CARTIER, MINI TANK ALLONGÉE MODEL, CASE NOS. 52'756, 023'928, DIAL BACK NO. 87013, MOVEMENT SIGNED CARTIER BY JAEGER-LECOULTRE, CIRCA 1975

Highly popular and in vogue among collectors, the present Cartier Mini Tank Allongée is an elusive wristwatch produced in small numbers. It is made even rarer by the yellow diamonds set into its case. Measuring a modest 15.5 mm by 28.5 mm, earning it the 'mini' designation, this timepiece is sure to attract attention thanks to the vibrant pop of color and flair added by the yellow diamonds.

The original white lacquer Paris dial features striking 'exploding' Roman numerals and a vintage 'square' Cartier font, which collectors are particularly fond of. Interestingly, the blued steel hands are pencil-shaped rather than sword-shaped, adding another distinguished detail to the watch. French eagle hallmarks are visible on the back and sides of the case, as well as on the clasp. The timepiece is powered by an 18-jewel Jaeger-LeCoultre movement signed by Cartier.
