{"product_id":"base-men-85844101","title":"Cartier Tank Louis Early Lot LM PARIS Dial Manual Wind Ref. 78086 No Cracks","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tank Louis Cartier is the quintessential Tank series watch.\nIts value has continued to rise in recent years, with the rare LM hand-wound models, especially those from around 1970, increasing in value.\nThe model introduced here is an early production model of Ref. 78086, with a serial number in the 300s.\nThe difference from later models is not only the absence of hidden lettering, but also slight differences in the font and the design of the dial's circle line.\nWhile these are minor differences, it is a very rare dial and individual piece.\nUnlike the mid- and late-period models, the hands are not blued, and the font is subdued, giving it a very classical impression. We highly recommend this watch to those who prefer a classical Louis.\n\nAmong the 1970s Louis Cartier collection, LM hand-wound watches in good condition are scarce.\nThe men's size LM, hand-wound movement, original PARIS dial from that era, and its early production all contribute to its high value.\n\nThe condition is good with minor scratches, but overall there are few major dents or scratches.\nThere is no sign of the case being thinned or the shape being rounded. The gold engraving on the side also remains. There is no Cartier engraving on the case back, but this is original for this particular model. There are no dents, but from a distance, it appears slightly warped, which is likely part of its specifications.\nThe glass is also in clean condition with no noticeable scratches.\n\nThe dial is clean with no cracks. Most PARIS dials have some cracks, but miraculously, this one has none at all.\nThe dial has slight discoloration and very minor scratches, but it is considered to be in very clean condition.\nThe hands are not blued but are originally black.\nOverall, this is a very good condition item.\n\nThe buckle is a very rare early 18k buckle from the 1970s.\n\nIf you wish to have an 18k YG D-buckle from that period, we can provide it at an additional cost. Please contact us.\n\n*The worn photos are for illustrative purposes.\n\n《Product Details》\nBrand: Cartier\nProduct Name: Tank Louis LM PARIS\nMaterial: YG\nSerial: 780860#### (around the 300s)\nMovement: Hand-wound\nColor: Gold\nCase diameter: Approximately 23.5mm x 30mm\nWrist size: Up to 17cm\nBand: New aftermarket\nBuckle: Buckle (18k YG), a rare type from the 1970s\nAccessories: Our store's warranty card\n\nMaintenance is available at our store even after purchase.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ante Official select","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887340040292,"sku":"BASE-MEN-85844101","price":2248000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/6371\/1844\/files\/e773dcfd4667d627d96e7c58d0038a1d.jpg?v=1785555043","url":"https:\/\/antewatchtokyo.com\/en-jp\/products\/base-men-85844101","provider":"Ante","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
