The "Cartier Must Tank" that arrived today is a very popular vintage model.
The classic ivory Roman dial is a masterpiece that is still loved by many people even though it is no longer in production.
It was released in 1976, following the design and size of the Tank Louis Cartier.
Mast tanks are said to have been on sale since 1977.
It underwent several minor changes and production ended around 2004.
This is an LM size hand-wound model.
Since the movement was replaced with a quartz model around 1983,
Although it looks the same, it was a short-lived model with a short production period, made using different machinery.
This is a very rare specimen that comes complete with all the accessories from that time.
The warranty date is March 1981, so even though it has been more than 40 years since it was manufactured,
It is extremely rare to find any of these accessories remaining.
The reason why vintage watches do not come with accessories is that
When the warranty expires, the warranty will be thrown away.
Boxes and other items are often made of paper, so they are damaged by moisture and become unusable, and for various reasons they no longer exist.
This is probably for the same reason that few people still keep accessories for home appliances and other items.
Since the 1990s, when buying and selling watches,
Having accessories remaining will increase the appraisal value of the item,
I think that accessories such as watches and jewelry are still often available.
I think this is also a reflection of the times.
Vintage watches with all their accessories still intact are truly valuable.
Furthermore, there are signs that this particular watch has been repaired by Cartier within the last 10 years.
Surprisingly, the 6 o'clock marking on the dial says "SWISS MADE" instead of "SWISS."
This clearly suggests that the dial was replaced by Cartier.
The hands have also been changed from black to blued steel,
I don't know if it was the original owner or a later owner.
This is an item that shows that it has been very well cared for.
If you look closely at the details of a vintage watch,
Sometimes you can guess what's going on.
That's one interesting aspect, but what's also appealing this time is that the accessories are still included.
The reason why people are so drawn to vintage items is that no two are exactly alike.
Naturally, it is unclear whether it will be possible to obtain an individual with the same conditions in the future.
However, we are confident that anyone who owns it will be extremely satisfied,
Don't miss this opportunity!
