{"product_id":"base-men-85298527","title":"Cartier Tank 1960s 9P Movement Piaget Tank","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tank is an indispensable part of any discussion about Cartier.\u003cbr\u003eIn recent years, models from before the 1970s, particularly those equipped with movements from Lecoultre or EWC, have become popular among collectors, and their prices continue to soar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis piece, from the late 1960s, is a very rare collaboration with Piaget.\u003cbr\u003eThe movement and case are made by Piaget, while the dial, hands, and crown are to Cartier specifications.\u003cbr\u003eThe movement is a thin Piaget-made 9P, marked Cartier. The dial is a special guilloché-engraved type, the hands are blued leaf hands, and the crown is an octagonal shape with a sapphire, indicating a highly detailed construction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring this period, Piaget also produced rectangular Tank-type watches, and this model appears to be based on one of those. (There is also a Piaget engraving on the case.)\u003cbr\u003e(It has been confirmed as an authentic item through Cartier repair estimates, so there is no doubt about its authenticity. The repair estimate details will also be included.)\u003cbr\u003eAs a rare Piaget model symbolizing Cartier's history, I believe this is a very interesting piece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dial is guilloché-engraved with \"Cartier\" and \"Swiss\" markings.\u003cbr\u003eSince it originally had the \"Swiss\" marking, it is an original that has not been replaced.\u003cbr\u003eIt is equipped with a Piaget Cal. 9P movement.\u003cbr\u003eWhile models with the Cal. 9P2 began to appear after 1980, this is the original, and its thickness is a remarkable 2mm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegarding the condition, the case has minor scratches but no significant dents.\u003cbr\u003eTo maintain its original state, it has not been polished, and minor scratches have been left as they are.\u003cbr\u003eThe dial has some light dirt and stains, but considering its age, it is relatively clean. There are no cracks.\u003cbr\u003eThe original crystal has a light scratch in the center, but it does not impair visibility, so it has been left as is. No other significant scratches are visible. (It is possible to custom-make a replacement at an additional cost and with some time.)\u003cbr\u003eThe case back has some scratches but is clean. The serial number is clearly preserved. (It is inscribed on the lug.)\u003cbr\u003eThis model is eligible for restoration services at Cartier's home country.\u003cbr\u003eThis service respects the original watch as much as possible, offering maintenance that involves restoring without changing the dial or movement, etc.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the dial is already quite clean, it might be worth considering if you are concerned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe buckle is the original Cartier D-buckle from that period.\u003cbr\u003eThe strap is a custom-made crocodile strap from our store.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e《Product Details》\u003cbr\u003eBrand Name: Cartier\u003cbr\u003eProduct Name: Tank 1960s Piaget Tank\u003cbr\u003eMovement: Manual winding\u003cbr\u003eCaliber: Cal.9P\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: K18YG\u003cbr\u003eSerial: 17###\u003cbr\u003eColor: Gold\u003cbr\u003eCase Diameter: Approx. 23mm (width) x 29mm (height, including lugs)\u003cbr\u003eWrist Size: Up to 18cm (adjustable)\u003cbr\u003eBuckle: Original 18K YG\u003cbr\u003eStrap: Our store's custom order\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Our store's warranty, official repair estimate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item will be delivered after an overhaul.
