The Cartier Tank has achieved iconic status in the world of watch design and, with the exception of a few distinctive variations, has maintained a consistent aesthetic throughout its extensive production history. The first commercially available Tank Normale was introduced in 1919, having been inspired by the treads of the French Renault FT-17 tank used in WW1. Throughout the decades, Tank watches have been documented on the wrists of notable figures from Jackie Kennedy to Andy Warhol. Today, Cartier feels more relevant in the worlds of fashion, music and popular culture than ever before. 

This Tank Louis, circa 1980s houses a "Paris" service dial with hidden signature at 7 o-clock. The case remains in excellent vintage condition with full proportions, deep crisp hallmarks and all of its caseback markings still clearly legible. It comes with an 18k Cartier deployant. For anyone looking to get into an 18k Tank Louis at a fair price (or to wear on a daily basis) this is a great example to do so, offering a pure white look to the dial that we believe will be more robust over time.

Dial: Is a "Paris" signed service replacement with hidden signature at 7 o-clock. It is mint and has a pure white look. This dial will likely be more robust over time and not craze like the vintage examples tend to. Hands: Are matching. Case: Is excellent with full proportion throughout. The hallmarks and caseback markings are all deep, crisp and clearly legible. Correct crown. Bracelet: 18k Cartier signed deployant and two piece gator strap in brown. Crystal: Has some light wear but nothing distracting to the naked eye. Accessories: Genuine Cartier service pouch for storage and travel. The movement is running nicely on our timegrapher and comes with our 6-month mechanical warranty.
Year/era: 1980s Reference: 78086 Serial: 13XXX Dimensions: 23.5mm width, 30mm lug to lug. Movement: Manual winding caliber 78-1.
