A contemporary embodiment of Cartier’s most iconic design, the Tank Louis Cartier XL “LC Collaborateur” reference 3280 distills the maison’s timeless elegance into a modern, architectural form. Produced in 2013 as part of Cartier’s discreet internal “LC Collaborateur” program, this exclusive variant reflects a level of rarity and distinction reserved for a select circle within the house.
Crafted in 18K pink gold, the case showcases the pure, linear geometry that has defined the Tank since 1917—its elongated brancards, softened edges, and harmonious proportions giving the XL size a commanding yet refined presence. The warm tone of the gold complements the silvered dial and blued-steel hands, underscoring Cartier’s mastery of balance and detail.
Preserved in very good, never-restored condition, this example retains crisp hallmarks, sharp case lines, and an untouched surface finish—details that speak to its careful stewardship. The originality of the watch is further affirmed by its original Cartier strap and matching pink-gold buckle, both showing minimal wear and completing its authentic presentation.
A distinctive expression of Cartier’s design heritage and the exclusivity of the LC Collaborateur tradition, this Tank Louis Cartier XL offers a rare opportunity to acquire a modern classic that merges maison history, contemporary refinement, and understated prestige.
