Description
Cartier Tank Louis Mens Midsize Quartz Solid 18K Gold Watch - "La Californienne"

Beautiful Condition - "La Californienne" Edition (please make red) - 1 Year Warranty

Designed personally by Louis Cartier in 1917 and patterned after an army tank, Cartier's Tank symbolized speed and achievement, and an unstoppable force. Today, these watches are easily recognized across as room as a Cartier.

It is a "La Californienne" edition with custom hand-painted band. As an article about the company states in Vogue Magazine, "Their finishing touch is the naturally vegetable-tanned cowhide leather straps, devoid of thick stitching (seen on most leather bands these days), and strikingly set with stripes of assorted colors applied by Garwacki’s steady hand in their L.A. studio. The carefully preserved heirlooms pay homage to their origin while still acknowledging today’s lean toward newness, all while maintaining competitive prices to their newer, untouched counterparts (and all with custom warranties).

With the exception of the band, the watch has all of its original parts - the face repainted with the company's name at the bottom and the 18K gold case back stamped with the name.

It presents in beautiful condition - the watch presents as a 9 out of 10.

Its case presents as just short of mint. Its dial presents as mint. And its crystal is mint.

A watchmaker has performed any needed servicing and installed a new battery.

For the finishing touch we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Accompanying it is a Cartier servicing pouch.

Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.

Current Retail Price of a new Tank: $13,500.00 USD + tax. When this watch was sold by "La Californienne" it would have had a price similar to Cartier's retail price.

An article in Vogue Magazine written about the company can be found here.
