- In 2024, Cartier refreshed the Tank Américaine line with a platinum large model featuring a salmon Art Deco dial. It has a simplified display with only hour and minute hands, revised proportions, and measures 44.4 × 24.4 × 8.7 mm. A ruby-set, polished crown marks it as a platinum Cartier. The dial shifts to a bold, geometric Art Deco look: a rich two-tone salmon scheme that complements the cool platinum case.

- The railroad minute track moves to the outer edge, most numerals are removed, and the remaining four Roman numerals sit within an Art Deco frame over a radially brushed background. This new version is a refined, contemporary take that sharpens the Tank’s elegance while amplifying its architectural character—cleaner lines, stronger contrasts, and a cohesive palette that elevates legibility and presence on the wrist, all while honoring the model’s heritage with modern updates.

- Preserved in "like new" condition with its protective casing intact, this example we have comes complete with Warranty Card, presentation box, and outer packaging.

Cartier

French

With the Constitution of 1848 came a new standard for luxury in France. Founded one year prior by Louis-Francois Cartier, the house of Cartier was one of the first to use platinum in jewelry making. This incredibly expensive material became the stepping-stone for Cartier to experiment in form, mechanisms and attitude. It helped men move from pocket watches to wristwatches, effectively making the watch much more functional and prominent in a man's overall wardrobe.

Cartier did not only touch on functionality. Inspired by a commissioned painting by George Barbier featuring a black panther at the feet of an elegantly bejeweled woman, Cartier began incorporating wild animals in his designs—most notably, Cartier Panthère rings, bangle bracelets and watches. Yet it wasn't until the late 1960s that the house of Cartier debuted their iconic yellow and rose gold LOVE collection, which includes the famous bracelet that only a special screwdriver can open.
