Cartier Tank Louis in Yellow Gold

6,750

The Cartier Tank has been a constant in fine watchmaking since Louis Cartier introduced it in 1917, drawing its clean lines from the aerial view of a Renault tank on the Western Front. The reference 1140, produced from the 1970s onward, represents one of the purest expressions of that original vision — a time when Cartier refined the Tank into something leaner and more considered. This particular example is crafted in 18k yellow gold, lending it a warmth that feels entirely at home on the wrist without demanding attention. The silvered dial, Roman numerals, and blued steel hands remain exactly as Cartier intended.

General information:
As clearly shown in the pictures, this watch remains in good and authentic condition without any noteworthy signs of wear (some minor superficial scratches). In the outdoor sunlight photograph there is a glare on the crystal which appears as a mark on the dial. This is not the case, as the dial remains in fine and undamaged condition. All hallmarks and Cartier caseback signatures are perfectly legible. Original 18k yellow gold pin buckle. A red leather Cartier pouch will be included.
