Cartier Lady Tank Must de Cartier - Vermeil Rectangular Trinity Dial

Trade In
Details
A More Considered Must Tank
The Must de Cartier line was a landmark release, opening the door for a new generation of collectors to experience the brand's iconic designs. While many examples featured simple lacquer dials, this piece stands apart with its Trinity rectangular dial. The use of yellow, white, and rose gold tones in a clean, striped pattern provides a level of visual detail that elevates the watch beyond the standard production. It is a more thoughtful and stylized take on one of the most recognizable watches ever made.
The Durability Of Vermeil
This example is presented in a Vermeil case, Cartier's term for gold-plated sterling silver. This material was key to the Must de Cartier's accessibility, but it is also susceptible to aging. What makes this piece notable is its lack of major tarnishing, a common character trait of Vermeil cases of this age. The larger case size also gives it a more substantial and versatile presence on the wrist.
A Well-Preserved Example
This Tank is in very good condition. The Vermeil case has been well cared for, avoiding the heavy oxidation that can affect these models, though the case back shows evidence of a past touch-up. The dial is clean and its distinct tri-gold pattern is well-defined. It has been fitted with a new leather strap that complements the classic case design. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Ritual Of A Manual Wind Tank
This is a perfect entry point into the world of Cartier for someone who values classic design with a unique twist. The manual-wind movement requires a daily interaction, a small ritual of winding that creates a tangible connection between the owner and the watch. It is a classic, unisex piece that carries the full weight of the Tank's design history but offers a dial configuration that ensures it will not get lost in a crowd.

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….
