DETAILS

Listed is a Stunning and Rare Cartier Tank Ref.896041 Manual Winding Mechanical Wrist Watch, made in 18K solid yellow gold.

The watch measures 23 mm without the crown and 30 mm from lug to lug. It features a rounded rectangular case with short lugs that can accommodate 18mm straps, and the crown is a cabochon crown. This watch has a gorgeous white dial with Guillouche dial. The dial also features the signature rail track and roman numerals with the blue sword hand.

Both the clasp and the leather strap are ORIGINAL CARTIER.

Powering this watch is the extra flat Calibre 021, this is super collectible and was more commonly known as the Frederic Piguet 21. One of the thinnest mechanical movements at the time. Condition is amazing. The case is in good condition with little signs of polishing. The dial, hands, crystal, are all crisp and has little to no signs of aging. Dial looks better in person.
