Cartier Tank Louis 78086
Description
This is the Cartier Tank Louis 78086. The story of the Cartier Tank is well told, with the introduction of the classic in 1917 inspired by the war machine. This variation, the Louis Cartier, was introduced in 1922 and is often regarded as the most classic of the Tank line. Since its introduction, the Tank has taken many shapes and variations and is the most recognizable line from Cartier. This particular reference, the 78086, was introduced in the mid 1970s. The case size is 23.5 x 30.5, which is the size of the quintessential Tank. The movement is the manual-wind Cal 78, based on the ETA 2512.
Condition
This Cartier Tank Louis is in very good pre-owned condition. The case appears to be unpolished, with the hallmark and serial still very visible on the caseback. The case has some hairlines consistent with its age but no major dings or dents. The plexiglass has a hairline scratch near the 3, visible only under very bright light. The dial remains clean.
