Cartier Tank Obus White Dial Ref. 5512116
The Stepped Tank, a rare model even among vintage Cartiers.
This model was produced in limited quantities in three countries—New York, Paris, and London—around 1970 (approximately between 1973 and 1976).
There were subtle design differences depending on the region.
This particular model is either a Paris or London variant, featuring a push-back case with no screws on the case back.
Given they are both in Europe, the Paris and London models are so similar that it is difficult to distinguish between them. This model was sold in either Paris or London.
Since only 5,000 units of each were produced at the time, they are extremely rare.
Cartier watches with larger case sizes like this one were produced and circulated in smaller numbers, and full-gold versions have seen a significant price increase.
This particular watch features a Vermeil case and a standard white dial.
The overall condition appears to be very good.
The case condition shows only minor scratches with no dents. The plating remains in its original state and is well preserved. Although there are some areas where the plating is thin or worn, it has not been re-plated to respect its original condition.
The case back also has only minor scratches, and the serial number is well preserved, making it relatively clean.
Overall, the condition is very good.
The case has minor scratches, but no major dents, and very little thinning of the plating is visible.
The dial has some minor scuffs, but no cracks or discoloration, making it a very clean white dial.
The crystal has some minor scratches but is generally clean.
Original crystals in good condition are quite rare.
The buckle is the original Cartier GP from that period.
The band is aftermarket.
This is a rare, large-sized model, which is unusual for vintage Cartiers.
