When you think of Cartier, their longstanding history in jewelry probably comes to mind. But they also have a reputation for making timeless and elegant timepieces, which they’ve been doing for over a century.

The Tank Louis is without question the brand’s most well-known model, but the story doesn't end there. Beyond the Louis line are numerous executions — many produced in very limited quantities — that are quite literally some of the most beautiful timepieces ever made.

This particular Tank is an extraordinary ladies’ piece from circa the 2000s. It features a striking 19mm  yellow gold case - encrusted with factory-set diamonds, a mineral crystal, a sapphire cabochon crown, and a stunning diamond encrusted dial with a matching 18K yellow gold 'sword' handset.  To top it all off, this piece is fitted to a 18K yellow gold bracelet with diamonds on its peripheries. 

Outstanding.

One could spend an entire lifetime just collecting Tanks, nevermind the rest of the staggering Cartier oeuvre. Why not start here, with this rare, stunning piece that you are not likely to catch again.

Get this one before it's too late!
