Cartier Tank Vermeil – White Roman Dial, Gold-Plated Case, Manual-Wind

Cartier Tank Vermeil – White Roman Dial, Gold-Plated Case, Manual-WindCartier Tank Vermeil – White Roman Dial, Gold-Plated Case, Manual-WindCartier is one of the most influential names in watchmaking, known for shaping the language of modern wristwatch design through a strong emphasis on proportion, geometry, and refinement. Founded in Paris in 1847, the brand quickly became synonymous with high society and royalty, while also establishing a lasting legacy in horology by treating the wristwatch as a design object as much as a technical instrument.

The Cartier Tank, introduced in 1917, is one of the most recognizable watch designs ever created. Its rectangular case, clean lines, and Roman numeral dial draw inspiration from early 20th-century architecture and military design, resulting in a form that has remained largely unchanged for over a century. The Tank Vermeil occupies a special place within the collection, offering a gold-plated silver case that balances luxury with wearability. Produced in various eras with subtle variations, the Tank Vermeil has become highly regarded among collectors for its classic proportions, mechanical movements, and faithful adherence to Cartier’s original design principles.

Key Details To Consider

This Cartier Tank Vermeil is presented in fully original condition, never polished or restored, retaining its factory gold plating throughout. The 22×30 mm case shows honest, light wear consistent with age, while the plating remains thick, even, and intact—an uncommon trait, as many examples have been refinished or replated over time.

The watch features a rare white Roman numeral dial in outstanding condition, with crisp printing and excellent overall preservation. The original crystal is still fitted and shows surface scratches; replacement can be arranged at the buyer’s request.

The manual-wind movement is functioning properly and keeping accurate time. The watch is fitted with a new 16 mm black alligator strap and is paired with its original gold-plated Cartier pin buckle, completing the period-correct presentation.
