完整圖錄內容
The platinum case measures 46mm by 23mm and is now slightly thinner at just 6mm. True to vintage Cintrée examples, the long polished brancards contrast with brushed horizontal sides, while a ruby cabochon crown adds a luxurious touch. Powered by the ultra-thin Cartier caliber 9780 MC, based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre 849, the movement is just 1.85mm thick, perfectly complementing the slim case.
Part of Cartier’s "Les Rééditions" program, which revives collector-favorite models in limited editions, this platinum Cintrée features an off-white eggshell dial with Roman numerals and a rail track. A charming vintage detail is the 7 o’clock numeral’s serif, which hooks around the track, a nod to original Cintrée models. Breguet-style hands complete the look.
The Tank Cintrée has always been the most coveted of the Tank family due to its rarity and refined shape, and platinum editions are especially prized. The present example, having left the boutique in September 2024, is in like-new condition and offers a rare opportunity to own this now sold-out masterpiece.
Cartier
FrenchWith 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.
