Regarded as the brand’s most iconic model, the Cartier Tank was initially introduced in 1917. Named after the Renault FT-17, a French tank from the First World War, the design and aesthetics of the rectangular-shaped case clearly pays its tribute to it.

Still a flagship model today, the Tank Française was initially released in 1996 under the leadership of the Richemont group. The present example is certainly a bedazzling one, fully pavé diamond-set on the case and bracelet with approximately 8 carats in total, making it an extravagant lady’s wristwatch.
