Cartier Premast Tank European Hand-Winding Model Ref. 4

SOLD OUT

The "Tank Louis," which has been historically popular, and the Must Tank, which was released to the general public.
This is a rare early Must Tank, called a Pre-Must Tank, and this particular one is a European model Pre-Must Tank, produced in even smaller quantities.
The early cannonball crown gives it an exceptionally good aesthetic.

The European specification has a basic construction almost identical to the Tank Louis, with the main differences being that the case is vermeil instead of 18k gold, and the dial's inscription is in script rather than block letters.
Because of this, it has an appearance that doesn't immediately resemble a Louis, making it popular but also extremely rare.
With the Louis model appreciating in value, this is a highly recommended item.

This item is being sold at an affordable price due to cracks and slight discoloration on the dial.

Regarding its condition, there are very few dents or scratches on the case, and the plating remains well-preserved.
To preserve the original plating, it has not been polished much, so there are some scratches, but I believe it is in good condition.
The case back also has minor scratches, but the plating is largely intact, and the overall condition is good.
Both the hands and glass are clean, and for a Pre-Must, it seems to be in quite good condition.
The dial shows thin cracks and discoloration across the entire surface.
The fine cracks are visible depending on the lighting, but they are not very noticeable when there is no direct light. (Since it's difficult to see in photos, a video can be provided upon request.)
The discoloration is generally a light ivory tone, which does not detract from its atmosphere, and since it's not as ivory as a Must model, I think it has a nice texture.
Although there are some stains, the overall condition is believed to be good.

The buckle is original GP.
OH maintained.
