Yet another timeless classic from "The Jeweller of Kings and the King of jewellers".

The Cartier Tank is one of the most renowned models from any manufacturer known to exist. The Cartier Tank was first introduced in 1917 by Louis Cartier, inspired by the Renault FT-17 military tanks used during World War I. Its clean, rectangular lines and geometric simplicity were revolutionary for this era, breaking away from the ornate curves common in watch design. The Tank quickly became a symbol of avant-garde style and sophistication, adored by icons like Jackie Kennedy, Andy Warhol, Yves Saint Laurent.. and yes, even our own Laurent.

The Tank we have for you today is no exception to that matter. The stunning reference 96019 'Extra Plate' is executed in 18k white-gold which is exceedingly more rare than its yellow-gold brethren. This 1970's treasure measures a sleek 24 x 30 mm and as such is perfectly proportioned for understated elegance. Behind the mineral glass we can see blued steel sword hands sitting atop a pearly white dial with painted black Roman numerals and a Paris signature. She is carried by a stunning blue alligator strap with a Cartier-signed white gold 'Ardillon' buckle.

This particular model, dubbed "Extra Plate" (French for "Extra Thin"), earns its name due to its ultra-slim profile. The slimness is achieved by its meticulously engineered manual-winding movement; Cal. 96 which is based on the F. Piguet 21 movement. In this matter it complements the minimalist ethos of the Tank's design. The refined proportions ensure that the watch sits effortlessly on the wrist, exuding an air of subtle luxury. As such, we are proud to offer this watch to our esteemed clientele.
