Cartier Lady Must de Cartier Tank - Vermeil Line Roman Dial

Trade In
Details
A Pure Expression Of An Icon
The Tank was Louis Cartier's formal answer to the round watches that dominated the early twentieth century. Its design, inspired by the tracks of Renault tanks on the Western Front, imposed a clean, geometric order that would define the dress watch for the next hundred years. The Must de Cartier line of the 1980s made this legendary design accessible, preserving the essential visual language in a vermeil case. This is that icon, stripped to its purest form.
The Classic Line Dial Configuration
This example features the classic Cartier 'line' Roman numeral dial, a signature of the brand that emphasizes legibility and balance with its clean, printed numerals. This is the smaller of the classic sizes, offering a traditional and discreet presence on the wrist. It retains its original leather strap and Cartier clasp, completing a very correct and authentic package.
Honest Character And Natural Patina
This watch is in good overall condition. The vermeil case, which is gold-plated sterling silver, shows a handsome and even oxidation that gives the watch a genuine vintage character. It is presented on its original Cartier leather strap, which shows wear consistent with its age. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Effortless And Enduring Style
This watch is for the person who values design history and timeless style. The quartz movement offers grab-and-go reliability, making it an ideal daily piece. Its smaller proportions are elegant and classic, a counterpoint to the oversized watches of the modern era. It is a subtle but confident choice that connects the wearer to one of the most important and enduring designs in watchmaking history.

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….
