{"product_id":"base-men-94226373","title":"Cartier Tank Obus Blue Dial Ref. 5512116","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmong vintage Cartier watches, the stepped tank is a rare model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in limited numbers in New York, Paris, and London around 1970 (approximately between 1973 and 1976), this model has subtle design differences depending on the region.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a Paris or London model with a push-back case that has no screws on the case back.\u003cbr\u003eGiven that 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.\u003cbr\u003eOnly 5,000 of each were produced at the time, making them extremely rare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCartier watches with larger case sizes like this are scarce in production and circulation, and solid gold types have significantly appreciated in value.\u003cbr\u003eThis model features a vermeil case and a rare blue dial, even among stepped tanks (though it's a deep blue, which may be hard to discern from the photo).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe overall condition appears to be very good.\u003cbr\u003eThe case has only minor scratches and no dents. The plating also remains in good original condition. Although there are some areas where the plating is thin or has worn off, we have not re-plated it to respect its original condition.\u003cbr\u003eThe case back also has only minor scratches, and the inner serial number is clearly visible, making it relatively clean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe overall condition is very good.\u003cbr\u003eThe case has minor scratches, but no major dents, and I see almost no plating loss.\u003cbr\u003eThe dial has some minor scuffs and some faint cracks, but these are only noticeable upon close inspection. The dial is a beautiful blue color.\u003cbr\u003eThe crystal also has some minor scratches but is generally clean.\u003cbr\u003eSince it is the original crystal, a clean one is quite rare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe buckle is a genuine Cartier GP.\u003cbr\u003eThe band is aftermarket.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a rare, large-sized model, which is unusual for vintage Cartier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e《Product Details》\u003cbr\u003eBrand: Cartier\u003cbr\u003eProduct Name: Stepped Tank Ref. 5512116\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: GP\u003cbr\u003eMovement: Manual winding Caliber 2512\u003cbr\u003eColor: Gold\u003cbr\u003eSerial: 55121161###\u003cbr\u003eReference: 5512116\u003cbr\u003eCase Diameter: Approximately 27.5 x 37.5 mm\u003cbr\u003eWrist Size: Maximum approximately 18 cm\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Our warranty card\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis product has been maintained.\u003cbr\u003eWe can also provide maintenance after your purchase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ante Official select","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887343612004,"sku":"BASE-MEN-94226373","price":1028000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/6371\/1844\/files\/bea97f595229dbb330860c8899a66fd8.jpg?v=1785555161","url":"https:\/\/antewatchtokyo.com\/en-jp\/products\/base-men-94226373","provider":"Ante","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
