Cartier Tank Louis in 18K Yellow Gold
The Cartier Tank Louis is one of the most sophisticated dress watches and these models have grown to become highly collectible over recent years. It is a great contrast to many sports Rolex models within a collection and can be worn in both a casual and dressed up state.
This example dates to circa 1957. It features an 18K yellow gold case with eagle hallmark on the case back indicating it was made in France. We believe the case is unpolished. The case measures 21mm in diameter and 27mm in length. It features a European Watch Company signed movement (indicating the movement was made by Jaeger-LeCoultre) and has the very attractive octagonal crown with blue cabochon. The deployant clasp is signed with an eagle hallmark indicating it was made in France and features the EJ maker’s mark with an hourglass in the center indicating it was made by Edmond Jaeger. These original deployant clasps are highly prized. It is on a cool tan strap that is quite possibly original to the watch.
The watch does not come with box and papers. It has been recently serviced and is running well.
