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 an 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 yellow gold and displays gorgeous Roman 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 accompanied 13-link bracelet by Cartier underscores its supreme rarity. With majority of Cartier wristwatches born on leather strap, to find an example with the highly desirable Cartier bracelet is music to collector's ears. A true collector’s gem with a recent complete overhaul, this superb Tank Cintrée dual-time is a chance not to miss for the discerned collector of Cartier.
