Cartier Lady Must de Cartier 681006 - Vermeil Lemon Roman Dial

Trade In
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.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
