Cartier Tank Louis Jumbo Automatique reference 17002 in 18K YG Unpolished

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 from casual to formal occasions.

This example dates to circa 1970s. It features an 18K yellow gold case. We believe the case is unpolished. The reference 17002 is the largest version of the vintage Tank and extremely wearable. The case measures 28mm in diameter and 35mm in length. The dial is very nice and without any signs of wear or crazing. Often, these have crazing.

The watch does not come with box and papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well. We believe the strap is original and it has the original deployant clasp. It is an absolutely magnificent watch on the wrist. This is the slightly later version of the run of 17002s with a dial signed SWISS below 6:00 and the earlier versions say PARIS below 6:00
