Launched in 1921, the Tank Cintrée was born 2 years after the original Cartier Tank. Embodying the design traits of its sibling, the Tank Cintrée evolved into a elongated rectangular case with elegant curves that not only fits on the wrist with perfection, it also quickly became one of the classic icon of the Parisian house. Fast forward to the 90s, Cartier decided to finesse its design with a adaptable styling and contemporary complication. Coupled with two mechanical movements operated by two faceted crowns fitted into a single case, the Tank Cintrée Dual-time with an attractive split dial was born.

Presented in stunning condition, the present Tank Cintrée Dual-Time is cased in platinum and displays gorgeous indigo numerals against its ivory hued dial with vintage appeal. Sitting with two dials stacked vertically, the top dial features the classic design of Cartier’s Roman numerals for all 12 hour markers, and in contrast the second time-zone is easily differentiated at the bottom by the clean display of 12, 3, 6, and 9 only. Incredibly handsome and sophisticated with subtlety, the caseback reveals its engraving “No.1/1 2004”, underscoring its supreme rarity of being the only one ever made in this configuration. A true collector’s gem, this is a chance not to miss for the discerned collector of Cartier.
