Cartier Tank Vermeil Gold Plated Quartz Champagne Dial 1990

 Cartier Tank Vermeil Ref. 3 66001 Champagne Dial

Cartier has played a defining role in shaping the dress watch category, blending horological function with refined design since the early 20th century. The Tank collection, introduced in 1917, remains one of the brand’s most influential creations, recognized for its distinctive rectangular case, Roman numerals, and strong architectural lines.

The Tank Vermeil Ref. 3 66001 represents a classic expression of this design, combining a gold-plated silver case with traditional proportions and period-correct details. Produced during an era when Cartier emphasized accessibility without compromising design integrity, the Vermeil line offered the signature Tank aesthetic in a more approachable format. With its rare champagne dial and original components, this reference reflects the enduring appeal of vintage Cartier through clean design and balanced proportions.
