Notes

This white gold Cartier Tank Normale in the sought-after small size embodies the purest expression of the maison’s early wristwatch design, defined by its rectangular case, elongated brancards and classic Roman dial layout. The watch displays the refined proportions characteristic of the Tank Normale in its smallest format and preserves its elegant stepped case in white gold.

Fitted with a leather strap and presenting strong overall originality, this example reflects the timeless Parisian aesthetic that has made the Tank one of Cartier’s most enduring creations. Its harmony of geometry, discretion and refinement captures the essence of Cartier’s early wristwatch philosophy and the enduring appeal of the Tank Normale lineage.
