In 1996, Cartier released a limited edition based on the original "Parallelogram" from 1936. Always staying true to its core values, Cartier was constantly innovating by pushing the boundaries of design and form, particularly in the first part of the 20th century. The tilted form of the watch was intended to make reading the time while driving easier, which also explains the legible Arabic numerals.

The Tank Asymétrique was produced as a limited edition with 300 pieces cased in yellow gold and 100 pieces in platinum.

The present example is preserved in excellent condition and is accompanied by its original certificate, product literature and presentation box.

So desirable and attractive is this model that Cartier launched a new interpretation of the Tank Asymétrique in its 2020 releases.
