Tank Louis Cartier Large Yellow Gold Leather Strap Red
A SYMBOL OF TIMELESS ELEGANCE
The Tank watch was created by Louis Cartier, who designed it after the tanks of WWI battlefields. Defined by flat vertical brancards and a sapphire cabochon, this symbol of understated elegance has since captivated the world's most astute minds.
Introduced in 1922, the Cartier Tank Louis represents the purest expression of the Tank design, embodying refined sophistication and the enduring legacy of Cartier's watchmaking. Its elongated rectangular case with soft edges is complemented by signature design elements such as the beaded crown set with a cabochon sapphire, Roman numerals, and elegant sword-shaped hands.
The Tank Louis is available in precious materials such as yellow, rose, or white gold, emphasizing its luxurious appeal. The collection includes both manual-winding mechanical calibres and high-precision quartz movements, catering to a range of preferences. Its clean, minimalist dial, often paired with a classic leather strap, highlights Cartier's mastery of understated design.
Water-resistant to 30 meters, the Tank Louis balances timeless style with everyday practicality. A symbol of sophistication, it remains one of the most iconic pieces in Cartier’s storied history, cherished for its elegance and its role in defining modern watch aesthetics.
