Cartier Tank Louis LM PARIS dial No cracks WG
The Tank Louis Cartier (Ref. 78086) is the quintessential Tank series watch.
In recent years, its value has continued to rise, with the LM manual-winding models, especially those from around 1970, increasing significantly in rarity.
This particular model is a WG PARIS dial, which is rarely seen in the market.
Furthermore, with its original PARIS dial, it is an extremely rare piece.
Around 1970, very few WG models were manufactured, making them highly sought-after collector's items today.
This is an LM manual-winding model from the 1970s Louis Cartier collection, which is hard to find in good condition.
It features a men's size LM, manual winding, WG, and an original PARIS dial from that era.
It is particularly rare to find one with the dial and case in such good condition, making it an excellent collector's item.
Crucially, it is a rare piece with no cracks.
Despite minor scratches, the overall condition is good, with no major dents or damage.
There are almost no signs of polishing, and the case does not appear thin or have rounded edges. The gold engraving on the side is still intact.
The glass is also in beautiful condition with no noticeable scratches.
Despite minor scratches, the rhodium layer is largely intact and in good condition.
The dial is a beautiful original PARIS dial in white.
There are very minor scratches and dirt, but no cracks visible to the naked eye. (Please let us know if you would like to see a video for confirmation.)
The dial is in its original condition from that period, with no dirt or discoloration, and is very clean.
Upon very close inspection, there is a light scratch at the 3 o'clock position and a small bump near the center, likely from manufacturing.
Neither is noticeable without a magnifying glass, indicating that the dial is in excellent condition.
The buckle is genuine WG. The band is aftermarket.
(It is possible to change to a genuine WG buckle of the same type from that era or an ordered band. Both are available at an additional cost.)
For Ref. 78086, the model number is the same for both YG and WG.
Rest assured, this is definitely a WG Tank Louis.
