The "Cartier Tank Louis Cartier LM" that arrived today is a rare extra-flat watch.
The Tank Louis Cartier has an incredibly thin case, measuring just 6mm thick.
The Tank Louis Cartier, created in 1917, is a watch that can be said to be the symbol of Cartier.
There are few other watches with a design that has remained unchanged for over 100 years.
A representative dress watch, alongside the Patek Philippe Calatrava.
The Tank Louis Cartier underwent various minor changes and was made available for general sale in 1972.
Among them, the ultra-thin Extra Flat was introduced in the lineup for a period in the 1980s.
This special model not only features a larger case and movement, but also guilloche engraving on the dial.
Among Cartier's products, we have some particularly high-end items.
It can be said to be a masterpiece that has been sublimated to the utmost and will remain in the history of wristwatches.
The thing that made it such a hit was the thin, hand-wound movement, Cal. 21, made by Frederic Piguet.
This was a high-end model at the time that was also adopted by Patek Philippe and others.
The movements that made it possible to make watches this thin were made by Frederic Piguet and Jaeger-LeCoultre.
The subsequent quartz crisis temporarily put production in jeopardy.
The unique charm of this famous product is that you can feel its history.
There are countless anecdotes surrounding the Tank, a historic watch.
The feeling of specialness when wearing it is also exceptional.
This particular example is equipped with a genuine 18-karat gold D-buckle, a valuable addition that further enhances the watch's appeal.
Furthermore, it comes with a warranty from that time, and it is unlikely that you will have many opportunities to see an example of this quality anywhere in the world.
The internal maintenance is done by Cartier and is thoroughly maintained,
This is a reassuring point for those who purchase.
There aren't many opportunities to go to this much effort to sell something.
Above all, the extra-flat Tank Louis Cartier itself is no longer available.
It has become a very rare item.
This should convey how valuable such a specimen would be to those who have been searching for it.
This is truly an opportunity not to be missed.
There won't be a next time!
