One of Cartier's most iconic designs, this Tank Française Ref. 2466 is crafted in 18k rose gold. The case is adorned with 82 brilliant-cut diamonds, and the signature crown is also topped with a reverse set diamond, adding a touch of luxury to the watch’s geometric lines.
Powered by a Cartier quartz movement, this timepiece runs perfectly and has been fitted with a new battery. The ivory dial features classic Roman numerals, blued sword-shaped hands, and a date display, maintaining the timeless aesthetic that defines the Tank lineage.
The Cartier Tank was first introduced in 1917, designed by Louis Cartier himself and inspired by the silhouette of a military tank viewed from above. Its distinctive rectangular case and seamless integration of lugs into the bracelet created a revolutionary form that was pure, modern, and unmistakably Cartier. The Tank Française, launched in 1996, reinterpreted this classic with a more fluid, bracelet-style design that perfectly balanced strength and sophistication.
In very good condition, showing only light signs of wear consistent with careful use.
Case diameter approximately 25 mm (excluding the crown).
A sophisticated and feminine expression of Cartier elegance, the diamond-set Tank Française combines precision, proportion, and Parisian refinement in one of the maison’s most enduring creations.
