Cartier Tank Cornice with Bec D’Aigle Unpolished

This is a very attractive Cartier Tank Cornice with Bec D’Aigle (“Beak of the Eagle”) lugs and its original “France” signed dial. If you look at the profile of the watch, you can see the resemblance to eagle beaks for the edges of the lugs. It also features four French eagle hallmarks indicating 18k yellow gold made in France. It features the Jaeger-LeCoultre backwind movement.

The case appears to be unpolished. It measures 19mm in diameter by 33mm lug to lug. We believe it dates to the 1940s.

It is paired on a leather strap with gold plated buckle.

The watch does not come with box and papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well.

PRICE: $25,000 (Item SBUXYT3638)
