The illustrious Tank Cintrée turns 100 years old this year and we’re celebrating that occasion with an exceptional example from the 1960s! The Tank Cintrée was introduced in 1921 as the first variation on the original Cartier Tank. Like its older sibling, the Cintrée presented a revolutionary aesthetic due to its distinctive elongated curved (Cintrée means curved in French) case. Over the past 100 years, the Cintrée has seen endless variations, but production has always been limited to very small numbers. This Tank Cintrée from the 1960s features an elongated 18k yellow-gold case, measuring 20 x 36 mm, making it ideal for a lady or an elegant gentleman. Due to its curved shape and slim profile (it's just 6 mm thick) the watch hugs the wrist and wears comfortably. The Cintrée takes the iconic Tank dial and stretches it to a rectilinear form with lovely elongated painted Roman numerals and painted closed minute track. The “PARIS” signature at the 6 o’clock position indicates that the watch was retailed at the legendary Cartier Paris flagship store. The dial, furthermore, features blued sword hands that match well with the sapphire tipped octagonal crown. This uncommon Tank Cintrée from the 1960s is in wonderfully preserved condition and runs on a manual winding caliber. We’ve attached the watch to one of our own glossy alligator leather straps, but include an 18k yellow-gold Cartier deployant clasp in case you’d like to order your own custom Cartier leather strap! The watch has just been serviced by Cartier and comes with the corresponding service papers.
