Ladies Cartier Tank - Mesh Bracelet

A Tank Louis most people have never seen

When most people picture a Tank Louis, they imagine a slim gold case on leather. This version changes that image entirely. Solid yellow gold paired with a fully integrated gold bracelet turns a classic dress watch into a complete gold statement without losing the proportions that define the Tank Louis.

It keeps the refined profile that made the design iconic, just with far more presence on the wrist.

The bracelet changes everything

The integrated gold bracelet is the defining feature. Tanks on full gold bracelets are far less common than their strap counterparts, and it completely shifts the feel. It wears like fine jewelry first, watch second, which is exactly where Cartier has always excelled.

Instead of delicate and minimal, the watch feels cohesive and substantial. Case and bracelet flow together as one unified piece, giving it a level of visual weight most Tank Louis examples simply do not offer.

Condition, strong throughout

Overall condition is very good. The case presents well. The white Roman dial is clean and classic. The bracelet remains in very good shape with solid structure and smooth articulation. The quartz movement is running properly and functioning as it should. It is a well preserved example without surprises.

A different kind of Tank

This is not the Tank most people expect. It is the Tank Louis in its most complete gold expression. Refined, cohesive, and noticeably less common than the standard leather strap versions.

For someone who appreciates Cartier beyond the obvious configurations, this offers something familiar in form but uncommon in execution.

Every watch we offer has been authenticated and mechanically looked over to ensure immediate usability.

Bracelet extension, cutting, or sizing is available upon request through our professional in-house jewelers.

History

The Tank emerged during the First World War when Louis Cartier drew inspiration from the new Renault FT‑17 tanks.  In 1917 he sketched a watch with straight brancards flanking a rectangular case, echoing the treads and hull of the tracked vehicles .  A prototype was presented to General John Pershing, and the first production pieces appeared in 1919 .  Unlike most wristwatches of the era, which were adapted pocket watches, the Tank was conceived from the outset as a wristwatch for men and women, signalling a modern approach to timekeeping.The design philosophy of the Tank is rooted in simplicity and proportion.  The rectangular case is bounded by vertical brancards, while a clear dial bears Roman numerals and a railroad minute track reminiscent of Parisian architecture .  Blued steel hands and a sapphire cabochon crown became recurring elements, and the overall dimensions were guided by the Golden Ratio .  These features create a formal clarity that distinguishes the Tank from round watches and give it versatility across genders and eras.When it was introduced, the Tank reflected cultural currents of the early twentieth century: mechanisation, the decline of ornate Victorian aesthetics and the emergence of Art Deco geometry.  Its clean lines resonated with artists and intellectuals seeking modern forms.  Over the decades Cartier developed numerous variations—Tank Cintrée, Chinoise, Louis Cartier, Américaine and Française—that adjusted case curvature, size and detailing but always preserved the original rectangular silhouette.  Such continuity allowed the model to evolve without losing its identity.Collectors value the Tank for its historical significance and design purity.  It stands as one of the earliest purpose‑built wristwatches and as a symbol of the shift from pocket to wrist timekeeping.  Its timeless form, adaptable to both formal and casual contexts, continues to attract enthusiasts who appreciate Cartier’s blend of jewellery craftsmanship and watchmaking heritage.

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….
