{"product_id":"base-men-152445142","title":"1960s Tank Louis LM, Hand-wound, Officially serviced in Switzerland, Good condition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis time, we were able to acquire a very rare 1960s Tank Louis LM manual winding watch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis model is an older version compared to the 1970s Tank Louis LM Ref. 78096, which we often sell, and dates back to the late 1960s.\u003cbr\u003eThe case has a similar feel to the 78096, but the crystal is a handmade glass wind shield with less curvature.\u003cbr\u003eThe dial also has slightly larger and thicker indexes, giving it a powerful presence. The hands are also a bit thicker, giving it a different impression.\u003cbr\u003eOverall, it is closer to the image of early Cartier, possessing both great beauty and strength.\u003cbr\u003eThe movement is a Bueche-Girod ETA2512. (Bueche-Girod was a high-end Swiss watchmaker that Cartier temporarily commissioned to produce movements and cases. It is a Cartier W-name product. Items with the Bueche-Girod signature are scarce in circulation and extremely valuable.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the dial says \"SWISS,\" we speculate that it was originally a SWISS dial and not a replacement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis watch has undergone Cartier's Swiss restoration service for maintenance, including authenticity appraisal. Essentially, only the movement has been repaired (overhauled).\u003cbr\u003eOf course, no aftermarket parts have been used in the watch; it is a certified timepiece. All parts, including the crystal, are original.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConsidering future maintenance, the ETA movement provides peace of mind, making this a highly recommended rare Tank Louis for daily use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe case condition is excellent with few dents or scratches overall.\u003cbr\u003eThe case back also has very few scratches, and the engravings are not faded. It is very clean.\u003cbr\u003eThe crystal is also almost entirely free of scratches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dial and hands are in excellent condition.\u003cbr\u003eThe dial is very clean with no discoloration or stains. There is only a minor scratch at 5 o'clock, but overall it is very clean.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough it is a SWISS dial, we believe it was originally SWISS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis level of quality truly comes around once a year, so we strongly recommend it to anyone who is considering it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt comes with a Cartier genuine 18k YG buckle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e《Product Details》\u003cbr\u003eBrand: Cartier\u003cbr\u003eProduct Name: 1960s Tank Louis LM Manual Winding Officially Repaired in Switzerland, Good Condition\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: K18YG\u003cbr\u003eMovement: Manual winding ETA2512 Bueche-Girod signature\u003cbr\u003eColor: Gold\u003cbr\u003eSerial: 218##\u003cbr\u003eCase Diameter: Approx. 23mm x 29.7mm\u003cbr\u003eWrist size: Up to approx. 18cm\u003cbr\u003eBand: Aftermarket\u003cbr\u003eBuckle: Genuine 18k YG\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Our warranty card, Cartier repair certificate (repaired in July 2026)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ante Official select","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887339286628,"sku":"BASE-MEN-152445142","price":3298000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/6371\/1844\/files\/8606feeec40c667fac63b99ad84b2f9c.jpg?v=1785555013","url":"https:\/\/antewatchtokyo.com\/en-jp\/products\/base-men-152445142","provider":"Ante","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
