Cartier Tank Cintrée Paris ’7 Lignes’

The Part Worth Knowing:

The example we have here is a small-size model known as the “7 Lignes,” dating to the mid-1960s, and remains in highly attractive condition. Its white dial has aged to a lovely cream color and retains crisp printing throughout, along with the famous “Paris” signature at 6 o’clock.

It contains all the things you want from a Cartier: printed roman numerals, blued steel hands, and the octagonal crown typical of the period, set with a blue cabochon. Manually wound, it features a beautifully curved dial, case, and crystal, paired with a yellow gold pin buckle.

Measuring 19 x 35mm, it has an amazing presence on the wrist.
