The present lot is a fine and lovely Tank wristwatch realized with the use of white gold, one of the heaviest materials. The Tank Louis Cartier was first made in 1922 and the original model, worn by Louis Cartier himself, came with rounded bran card shoulders, which gave it an Art Deco feel. The present watch is the classical version of the Louis Cartier with rectangular shape case, it is in 18k white gold instead of the common yellow gold with cabochon crown to adjust the time. The case back has 4 screws in the band that cover the 2512 caliber, screwed bars and sapphire crystal. The dial has the classical layout with white background, black outer Roman numerals and closed inner track from minutes, all in almost mint conditions. Simple and elegant, this wristwatch is the perfect accessory for every woman.
