We are pleased to present this rare Tank Cornice, case number 28179, distinguished by its sculpted case. Many examples feature distinctive Bec d’Aigle (“eagle beak”) downward-pointing lugs, often made by Edmond Jaeger, or other stepped architectural “cornice” lines that make the case more sculpted than a standard Tank. Hallmarks on the side of the case and caseback are still present, and the case number engraved on the caseback and inner bezel is clear and easy to read. Produced circa 1960s–1970s, it is sought after by collectors of vintage Cartier shapes and retains good overall condition with crisp details.
