The Tank Louis Cartier represents the most refined evolution of the legendary Tank, originally created by Cartier in 1917. The reference 1600, produced during the 1990s, preserves all the characteristics that have made this model one of the undisputed icons of elegant watchmaking: perfect proportions, an 18k yellow gold case, and a high-quality mechanical movement. This 1997 example, coming directly from its original owner and accompanied by an extraordinarily complete set of accessories, including its original outer box and price tag, represents a rare opportunity for collectors seeking originality, provenance, and exceptional preservation.
