Cartier Lady Must de Tank - Vermeil Lemon Roman Dial

Details
An Accessible Icon
The Must de Cartier line was a landmark move for the brand, making the legendary Tank design accessible while preserving the core proportions and character that defined it. Launched in the 1970s, these watches used a gold-plated sterling silver case, or Vermeil, to offer the look and feel of a solid gold Tank to a broader audience. This example, with its clean lemon dial and classic Roman numerals, captures the essence of Louis Cartier's original vision in a package that remains stylish and relevant today.
A Perfect Dial And Original Details
This Must de Tank stands out for its fantastic state of preservation. The lemon dial is in perfect, uncracked condition, a key detail for collectors as these lacquered surfaces can often show their age. The hands are clean, and the watch is fitted to its original leather strap and Cartier buckle. It is a complete and honest expression of the model, representing the best of what the 1970s Must de Cartier era had to offer.
Excellent Physical Condition
This watch is in excellent overall physical shape. The Vermeil case is very good, retaining its original finish without any significant tarnishing or wear-through. The crystal is clean and the dial is perfect. The watch presents with a sharpness and integrity that is increasingly difficult to find in these references. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Ritual Of The Wind
This watch is for the person who understands that true style is timeless. The Tank's design is so complete that it requires no embellishment, and its influence on twentieth-century watch design is impossible to overstate. As a manual-wind piece, it offers a tangible connection between the owner and the machine. The daily ritual of winding the crown is a small, deliberate act that makes wearing the watch a more personal experience. It is a perfect, unisex entry point into one of history's most important designs.

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….
