CARTIER LONDON TANK LOUIS MEDIUM SIZE

£20,000.00

Cartier opened its first London branch in 1902 and two years later in 1904 they received their first Royal warrant from Edward VII, a huge step for La Maison. In 1909, they relocated to New Bond St, where their famous store still operates today, and under the leadership of Jacques Cartier the branch continued to thrive. Watches produced out of the Cartier London workshops, made in very low numbers, often carried a uniqueness in their design compared to the Paris alternatives, then in the 1960’s they created completely distinct models such as the Crash, Maxi Oval and Pebble that have become brand icons. The rarity and special aesthetic of Cartier London watches has made them highly valuable today and continuously sort after by collectors.

This mid-size 1973 Cartier London Tank Louis comes in 18k yellow gold. The lovely white dial, in classic Cartier aesthetic, has black Roman numerals and chemin de fer minute track. The watch has its original London style pasha crown, London hallmarks showing on the case and clasp, and matching numbers. Presented on a custom blue suede strap and in great overall condition, this is a fabulous and rare watch for any admirer of Cartier.
