Cartier Tank Louis Platinum Collection Privee 1601
Description
This is the Cartier Tank Louis 1601 from the CPCP Collection. The history of the Cartier Tank is one that barely needs any introduction, given that it has been covered excessively. The origins of the Tank began in 1917, inspired by war machines of the same name. Given the success of the original Tank, Cartier began to vary the types of Tank to leverage on the success of the model. Among the many Cartier timepieces, the Tank is arguably their most recognizable model alongside the Santos.
Being a highly popular and identifiable model from Cartier, it’s no surprise that the Tank has been the model with the most variations since its inception but the Tank Louis is likely to be the one that represents the model unequivocally. Storied and legendary, it has become an icon for the brand and one of the most noteworthy time-only watches. The 1601 was based on the manual wind F Piguet cal. 21, notable for being ultra-thin and easy to maintain. Perfectly proportioned, the Tank Louis would be a mainstay in the Cartier lineup and is still produced today in precious metals. As icing on the cake, the watch has a platinum case, a metal that is usually reserved for the pieces with the highest exclusivity.
In addition, this particular Tank Louis was from the Collection Privee Cartier Paris, or CPCP, collection. The collection ran for a decade from 1998 to 2008 as a celebration of the brand’s historically important and timeless models. All the watches were manufactured in precious metal with a guilloche design on the dial that ran on impressive movements. Highlighted by PARIS stamped directly under Cartier on the dial, CPCP Cartiers are amongst the most collectible within the brand. They have played a huge role in the revival of the brand in modern context and It speaks volumes that the brand's annual re-issue of a CPCP model is always highly anticipated.
