An exquisite example of classic horology, this Cartier Tank Francaise seamlessly combines understated elegance with bold sophistication, making it a truly remarkable addition to any discerning collection. Having just been serviced by Cartier Harrods in June 2025 at a cost of £1301, it is ready to be worn and enjoyed. On the wrist it is a showstopper.

This reference 1840 was crafted in ‘large’ proportions which measure 28 x 32mm, it wears boldly on the wrist but is still slim enough to slip under a shirt cuff considering it’s a dress piece. Being crafted from solid 18ct Yellow Gold, it is wonderfully opulent. On the wrist it is unmistakably Cartier due to the distinctive ergonomic curved case, Roman Numeral hour markers and archetypal dial design. At the beating heart of this piece is a high precision self-winding automatic Cartier movement, with a gentle wind it purrs to life and you can even feel the rotor subtly winding when on your wrist. Affixing the head of the watch to the wrist is a brand new RIOS alligator grain leather strap, secured in place with the original solid 18ct Yellow Gold ‘C’ Cartier Ardillon pin buckle.
Mechanically, the watch has just been serviced by Cartier Harrods in June 2025 at a cost of £1,302 and has been brought to the very best standard in terms of ergonomics, integrity, aesthetics and chronometry. Along with the complete service and refinishing, Cartier also replaced the crown, crown tube, crystal and casing ring. The remainder of the 24 month warranty travels with the watch to the new owner. The blued hands are clean, the dial is crisp, while the crown is responsive. The strap is brand new and unworn. There are some very gentle signs of wear to the case - being solid gold it is not advised to deeply polish these pieces to maintain the integrity of the case shape, it looks wonderful, a stunning watch!
Along with the watch itself comes a double Cartier box set, Cartier pamphlet, Cartier service papers, an invoice for your purchase and a certificate showing the serial has a clean history against the lost/stolen registries for peace of mind.
