Catalogue Essay
The Tank Cintrée (meaning “curved Tank” in French) was introduced in 1921 as a revolutionary design with its special curved and elongated case shape. Taking a modern twist to the classic Cartier Tank design, the watch is a celebrated marriage of classic aesthetics and wearability. It is simple yet visually stunning, and is constructed in a beautiful form which allows it to sit comfortably on the wearer’s wrist.
Inside the exquisite curved case, the dial emanates a superb elegance with a subtle grey railway minute track at the centre of the delicate grey dial. Setting against the black sword-shaped hands, it sits in perfect harmony inside the shimming platinum case. The beaded winding crown is further set with a ruby cabochon, a beloved historical feature often found on platinum cases for Cartier’s anniversary models, adding a delightful touch of red to the minimalistic design. There are two additional configurations of the present reference, including pink gold case with black dial and yellow gold case with golden dial, but the present combination of platinum case and grey dial is arguably the most adored and attractive version of all.
The watch is powered by the oval-shaped manual calibre 8971MC, based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 846, which is unique for its small size and versatility. It has no issue fitting the thin case since it measures only 6.95mm and yet boasting a power reserve of 38 hours.
Numbered 062 in a limited run of only 100 pieces, this present example is offered with its full set of accessories and is preserved in excellent condition. The rare opportunity to add this superbly elegant timepiece to a fine watch collection is not to be missed.

Artist Biography
Cartier
French
With the Constitution of 1848 came a new standard for luxury in France. Founded one year prior by Louis-Francois Cartier, the house of Cartier was one of the first to use platinum in jewelry making. This incredibly expensive material became the stepping-stone for Cartier to experiment in form, mechanisms and attitude. It helped men move from pocket watches to wristwatches, effectively making the watch much more functional and prominent in a man's overall wardrobe.
Cartier did not only touch on functionality. Inspired by a commissioned painting by George Barbier featuring a black panther at the feet of an elegantly bejeweled woman, Cartier began incorporating wild animals in his designs—most notably, Cartier Panthère rings, bangle bracelets and watches. Yet it wasn't until the late 1960s that the house of Cartier debuted their iconic yellow and rose gold LOVE collection, which includes the famous bracelet that only a special screwdriver can open.
