Historical Context

The Cartier Tank Louis, conceived as the refined evolution of the original Tank designed by Louis Cartier, is regarded as one of the greatest icons in both watchmaking and 20th-century design. During the 1970s, Cartier produced a limited number of oversized versions, now commonly referred to by collectors as the XL Jumbo, making them among the rarest Tank models ever manufactured. Reference 17002, equipped with an automatic movement, the coveted "Paris" dial and an 18 kt yellow gold case, is one of the most desirable configurations within the series. Its exceptional state of preservation, together with the original vintage Cartier box and gold deployant clasp, makes this a truly outstanding collector's piece.
