Remark: Limited edition of 300 examplesBased on the 1936 'Parallelogram' model, the 1996 'Tank Asymétrique' model was launched in a limited edition of only 300 examples in yellow gold, and 100 in platinum. Cartier's ability to combine practicality and artistic imagination is exemplified by its bold Arabic numerals and tilted, parallelogram-shaped case, which were designed to make it easier to read the time while driving.
Offered in very good overall condition, the present timepiece offers collectors a unique opportunity to own one of the maison's most unusual and elusive designs. As evidenced by the model's new release in 2020, the Tank Asymétrique has grown to be one of the most sought-after manifestations of Cartier's inventiveness over time, highlighting its ongoing significance and cult status among enthusiasts.
