Cartier Tank Solo - Monogram Dial
A Patterned Twist On Tradition
The Tank Solo reference 2716 is a modern iteration of the world's most enduring watch design, but this specific example features a dial rarely seen in the standard catalog. Instead of the typical Roman numerals and railroad track, this dial is finished with a repeating "Cartier" logotype motif. This subtle textured pattern serves as a backdrop for white Arabic numerals, giving the watch a more contemporary and playful energy while maintaining the iconic rectangular silhouette. It is a configuration for the collector who values the Tank's history but wants a version that breaks from the predictable layout.
A Modern Minimalist Icon
The Tank Solo was designed to be a more accessible, robust entry into the Cartier family, and the 2716 in stainless steel captures that objective perfectly. At 23x30mm, it retains the classic "Louis Cartier" proportions while utilizing a flat-top case design that sits low and sharp on the wrist. Because it utilizes a high-quality quartz movement, the watch is the ultimate grab-and-go piece, requiring no winding and offering total reliability. It represents the bridge between Cartier's early 20th-century roots and the streamlined, utilitarian luxury of the 2000s.
Clean Steel And Original Hardware
This example is in very good condition, with the stainless steel case showing no notable scratches or dings and retaining its original factory finish. The "Motif" dial is excellent and perfectly clean, with no marks or degradation to the patterned surface. The sapphire crystal is flawless, and the watch comes equipped with its original Cartier deployant buckle on a leather strap. Mechanically, the quartz movement is running strong after passing our test bench, ensuring accurate timekeeping and a smooth ownership experience.
The Versatile Daily Tank
This is a watch for the person who wants a Cartier Tank that works in every possible scenario. The stainless steel construction and unique Arabic numeral dial make it feel less formal than a gold Tank Louis, yet it retains enough Cartier DNA to remain the most sophisticated object in the room. It is a durable, stylish, and increasingly hard-to-find variation of the Solo line that offers a unique visual texture without sacrificing the timeless appeal of the Tank.

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….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
