By now the “art deco” Cartier Tank Must has become a staple in so many collections as of the beautiful layout of the dial offering a one-of-a-kind aesthetic to a normally rather conservative model by la maison. This very example is in overall good condition with only light signs of wear to the case and caseback, which still has the original finishing as well as clearly readable casebook numbers and limitation number 0160/1000. The dial however has evolved some patina over the years which mainly formed around the corners of the dial, it has aged beautifully and feels in no way dirty or damaged, but is important to mention. It comes with an new-old stock Cartier strap and deployante clasp as well as the original blue beaver-tail strap which is definitely worn down by now.
