The Cartier Tank Cintreé is one of the most desirable of the vintage Tanks, which was first released in 1921. As a celebration of Cartier timepiece designs through the 20th century, they released the Collection Privée Cartier Paris, which ran from 1998 to 2008. This model released in 2004 in a limited-edition series of 150 pieces is a part of that collection, of which this example is 1 of 150. This is one of the most important versions of the modern Cintreé, as it represents the iconic elongated design with its 18k yellow gold case, characteristic Breguet hands, and large Arabic numerals on the dial.
Established in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier after inheriting his mentor’s workshop, Cartier has grown to become one of the most prestigious jewelry manufactures in the world. Cartier’s notable ventures into watchmaking include one of the world’s first modern wristwatches, the Santos de Cartier, the iconic Cartier Tank, and one of the first water-resistant watches ever created, the Cartier Pasha.
