A custom-order version of the classic Tank Cintrée*, this watch has a striking combination of features such as a salmon dial, and burgundy Eastern Arabic numerals. These are highly coveted features for any Cartier watch, making this an intriguing find for collectors of the brand.

Released in 1921, the Tank Cintrée has an extraordinary history, and was first conceived in the Paris branch of the Cartier. Instantly recognisable from its curved design and elongated shape, the Tank Cintrée wraps comfortably around the wrist and a great deal of diversity can be found in the model, ranging from font, size of numerals, thickness of case, or even the style of screws.

In the spirit of this diversity, this Tank Cintrèe is a watch that was created through the Cartier special order program. To our knowledge, the watch is currently unique, although it should be noted that Cartier may accept a similar special request in the future, either to recreate the same watch or something close to it.

The watch is an intriguing combination of some of the rarer features to be found on Cartier's watches, such as a salmon dial and Eastern Arabic numerals in burgundy. This is complemented by a ruby cabochon fitted into the crown. The hands are shaped in Cartier's quirky take on the traditional Breguet-style hands, with a discreet grey minute track found at the centre. These are contained within the curved platinum case of this Cintrée.

The movement that powers this Tank Cintrée is the mechanical calibre 8971MC, based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 846. Hidden behind a brushed closed caseback, the movement is just as excellently finished and put together as the rest of the watch.
