Cartier Tank Louis 8105 - 18K Yellow Gold White Roman Dial

Details

The Enduring Geometry Of An Icon

The Tank Louis Cartier represents the purest expression of one of horology's most important designs. Conceived by Louis Cartier in 1917, the original Tank imposed a new visual language on the wristwatch, replacing soft curves with architectural lines inspired by the Renault tanks of the Western Front. This reference 8105, executed in 18K yellow gold, carries forward that original intent, showcasing the iconic rectangular case, Roman numeral dial, and crown that have defined the model for over a century. It is a watch that remains virtually unchanged because it was perfect from its inception.

A Full Set Example Of A Modern Classic

This particular Tank Louis Cartier is a strong example from an era that brought modern reliability to a timeless design. The 18K yellow gold case and integrated bezel provide a luxurious feel, complementing the classic white Roman numeral dial. It offers the convenience of a quartz movement within the highly coveted Louis Cartier case, making it an ideal daily wearer for those who appreciate both heritage and practicality. The full set of original papers and box elevate this example for a collector who values completeness.

Honest Condition Ready For Refresh

This watch is in nice condition, retaining its original leather strap and buckle. The 18K yellow gold case appears unpolished and shows honest wear consistent with its age. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

The Epitome Of Understated Elegance

The Tank Louis Cartier is a foundational piece for any serious watch collector, or for anyone seeking a watch that transcends trends. Its clean lines and classic proportions ensure it will always be in style. This example, with its full set and gold construction, makes a confident statement of refined taste. It works equally well for formal occasions or as an elevated daily companion, embodying the kind of discreet luxury that only Cartier can deliver.

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….
