Today's offering showcases this mens midsize vermeil Cartier Tank watch with diamond encrusted case. It has an iconic tank case, classic Roman dial, gold epee hands, sapphire topped crown, and mechanical Cartier movement.
Before cost-cutting measures brought about the widespread use of cheaper quartz movements for many wristwatches, Cartier contracted with watch manufacturers to produce mechanical movements designed to last a lifetime. Using traditional watchmaking practices, these gifted craftsmen poured individual attention into each wristwatch. As a result, mens Cartier wristwatches with mechanical movements are often more sought after by collectors than their quartz counterparts.
Originally designed for men by today's standard it could also be worn well by a woman.
It has just finished a true expert restoration and presents in beautiful condition. The diamonds have been previously added by a jeweler. On the wrist it presents like new.
As part of the restoration the movement has just been cleaned and oiled.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
