Cartier Tank 66001 - Vermeil Champagne Roman Dial

Trade In
Details
The Original Rectangular Watch
The Cartier Tank is not just a watch, it is the foundation of modern dress watch design. Created by Louis Cartier in 1917, its clean lines and integrated lugs brought a sense of order to the wrist that was revolutionary for its time. This example from the 1980s carries that same essential DNA, offering the definitive Cartier look in the classic vermeil execution of gold over silver. It is a direct link to one of the most important designs of the twentieth century.
A Classic And Approachable Configuration
This Tank stands out with its warm champagne dial and classic Roman numerals. The quartz movement makes it an exceptionally practical choice for a dress watch, ensuring it is always ready to wear without the need for daily winding or setting. Its traditional proportions value discretion and elegance, making for the quintessential Tank experience built around ease of use.
Honest Condition From Its Era
The watch is in good overall condition. The vermeil case shows an even fading which has given the plating a dark character, but it is not rubbed through. The champagne dial is clean and well-preserved, and may be a later service replacement. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Perfect Starting Point
This is the right watch for anyone looking to own a true design icon. The vermeil case and quartz movement make it an accessible entry point into the world of Cartier without sacrificing any of the aesthetic presence that made the Tank famous. It is a simple, elegant, and historically significant piece that works effortlessly in any formal or business setting.

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….
