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 Style. This model is now considered one of the most iconic of Cartier and over these more than 100 years many editions have been realized. The present 18k yellow gold watch is smaller then the original one and is called mini-tank for ladies, presents the same rectangular shape with rounded corners, snap-on case-back, stepped rounded bezel, cabochon blue sapphire-set winding-crown in a smaller case of 19 x 24mm. The dial has the classical layout with a white background turned to a champagne color that gives to the watch a very beautiful sharm and compleated by the black outer Roman numerals and inner closed track from minutes, all in good conditions.
