Cartier Lady Must de Cartier 681006 - Vermeil Lemon Roman Dial

Details
A Gateway To A Design Icon
The Must de Cartier collection, launched in the 1970s, was a brilliant strategy to open the brand to a wider audience without compromising its design ethos. By using a gold-plated sterling silver case, known as Vermeil, Cartier made its most iconic shape, the Tank, accessible. This example, with its uncommon lemon dial, represents the most playful and stylish execution of that concept. It captured the spirit of its era while remaining fundamentally Cartier.
The Power Of A Simple Detail
The Tank is a study in perfect proportions. What sets this example apart is its soft lemon dial, a departure from the traditional white or black that gives the watch a unique warmth and personality. Paired with classic black Roman numerals and the signature sapphire cabochon crown, the watch is instantly recognizable. The Vermeil case provides the look and feel of solid gold, making the watch a subtle but confident statement of taste.
Very Good And Period Correct
This example is in Very Good condition. The Vermeil case, which is gold over sterling silver, shows well. The caseback displays clear hallmarks and some light oxidation, which is common for these models. The iconic sapphire crown is correctly fitted. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
An Enduring And Versatile Classic
This is a watch for someone who appreciates timeless design. The Tank has been a benchmark for elegance for over a century, and the Must de Cartier series made it a modern cultural touchstone. Its modest size wears perfectly today, offering a classic profile that works in any setting. It is an excellent entry point into a legendary brand and a piece that will never go out of style.
