Cartier Large Pink Gold Tank Louis Cartier Watch 25mm

Despite reinventions of the iconic Tank watch spanning more than a century, the clean, crisp lines and stylistic square face of this exquisite timepiece remain as desirable now as when they were originally designed by Louis Cartier in 1917. Updated with new finishes to suit contemporary tastes- this one in 18-karat rose gold with an alligator skin strap - the curved case hosts a silver beaded dial with distinct Roman numerals, sword-shaped hands and a synthetic cabochon-shaped spinel. Worn by Louis Cartier himself, the Tank Louis Cartier edition sets the bar for the wider collection with a rectangular form and rounded lugs, embodying the contribution the designer made to the contemporary design style that would later be known as Art Deco.
