A superb example of mid-century Cartier design, this Tank Obus Allongè Duoplan in 18K yellow gold captures the essence of the Maison’s golden age of watchmaking—where architectural elegance met technical ingenuity. Originally conceived in the 1920s and produced in limited numbers through the mid-20th century, the Obus is among the most distinctive interpretations of Cartier’s legendary Tank lineage, instantly recognizable by its bold geometry and pronounced screw-set lugs.
The 18K yellow gold case is exquisitely proportioned, balancing strength and refinement in equal measure. Its sharp lines and square profile highlight Cartier’s mastery of form, while the silvered dial, adorned with black Roman numerals and blued steel hands, exudes timeless Parisian sophistication. Beneath the elegant surface lies the ingenious Duoplan movement—Cartier’s celebrated miniature caliber designed to maintain chronometric precision within a remarkably compact case.
Preserved in exceptional overall condition, the present example displays sharply defined hallmarks and a clearly visible serial number, attesting to its originality and careful preservation over the decades. The watch retains remarkable case integrity, crisp engravings, and a beautiful patina consistent with its age.
An exquisite testament to Cartier’s artistic vision and horological innovation, this Tank Obus Duoplan represents one of the most refined and collectable expressions of the Tank family—an enduring icon of design and elegance.
