92 Cartier A unique, highly unusual and sought after, NSO Tank Asymétrique, wristwatch in yellow gold with red burgundy dial, warranty, certificate of origin and presentation box, numbered 1.

Estimate: € 60.000 –⁠ 120.000

With its skewed geometry and disarming symmetry, the Cartier Tank Asymétrique has always been a rebellious act whispered in the softest Parisian accent. But the present, unique upon-request example, takes that spirit one step further. Crafted in luminous yellow gold, and blessed with a magnificent dial in a rich, regal burgundy, this unique piece —yes, unique— is a special celebration of Cartier’s most daring chapter in watch design. The way the dial plays with light, shifting from a deep claret to a golden maroon, evokes the aged velvets of a Paris theatre curtain moments before it rises. It is hard not to pause over the watch’s flowing lines—the tilted case, the angled Roman numerals, the golden sward hands like a nod to the maison’s long-standing balance between drama and restraint. Manufactured in 2024 and marked number 1, this NSO (New Special Order) Asymétrique is an artefact, a statement, a moment. It comes with its original warranty, preserved in breathtaking condition: untouched, unworn, almost as if Cartier knew it would be entrusted not merely to a wrist, but to a guardian of elegance.
