Cartier Tank Vermeil Gold Plated Manual Winding Lemon Dial

Cartier Tank Vermeil: Timeless Elegance in Lemon Roman

Cartier is one of the most influential names in watchmaking, renowned for shaping the design language of the modern wristwatch through clean geometry, refined proportions, and a strong connection to art and architecture. Unlike many traditional Swiss brands, Cartier approached watchmaking from a design-first perspective, creating icons that transcend trends while maintaining exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The Tank Vermeil is a modern interpretation of Cartier’s historic Tank, originally introduced in 1917. The Vermeil version combines a gold-plated case with classic Roman numerals, blued steel hands, and a rectangular profile that remains instantly recognizable. Compact in size and purposeful in design, the Tank Vermeil offers a direct link to Cartier’s heritage while remaining practical and wearable, making it one of the most enduring and respected dress watch designs ever produced.

Key Details To Consider

This beautiful and all-original Cartier Tank Vermeil Ref. 5057001 is presented in original, unpolished condition, retaining its factory gold plating throughout. The 20 x 28mm case shows only light, honest signs of wear and remains remarkably clean for its age, preserving the sharp lines that define the Tank design.

The original lemon Roman dial is in pristine condition, free from cracks, and pairs beautifully with the classic blued steel hands. Powering the watch is a manual-winding movement that has been tested and is keeping good time.

The watch is fitted with a new 15mm green alligator strap and finished with a gold-plated Cartier pin buckle, completing the look while remaining true to the character of the piece. A refined and well-preserved example of one of Cartier’s most iconic models.
