An absolutely stunning example of the Cartier Tank Louis, reference 78086 from 1980. The watch is in excellent, original condition and features a rare and highly desirable 'Paris' signed dial. Demand for vintage Cartier Tank's has never been higher and even more so for ones in this condition. We don't expect this one to hang around!

The history of the Tank Louis Cartier begins in 1922 when the watch was first produced and named after the company's founder, Louis-François Cartier. Since then the Tank has become one of the world's most iconic due to its beautifully proportioned rectangular case and rounded angles. The watch creates the perfect balance of timeless design and functionality and it elegantly expresses an aesthetic that has not only endured for many generations but will always look as contemporary as the day it was conceived.
