Cartier Tank Louis LM PARIS Dial ref.78086 No Cracks
The Tank Louis Cartier is the classic of the Tank series.
This is a rare Cartier Tank Louis LM Paris dial, manual-winding watch from the 1970s-1980s.
It is a highly valuable item, being a manual-winding LM men's size, with the original PARIS dial of that time without cracks, and the case in remarkably good condition.
In recent years, it has become quite rare to find a combination of an original PARIS dial and a case in good condition, making this a truly rare item.
It is one of the earliest models of the Tank Louis from the 1970s-1980s.
Regarding its condition, there are minor scratches on the case, but overall it has few major dents or scratches and is in good condition.
It can be described as quite beautiful.
There is almost no thinning of the case or rounding of its shape; it appears to have undergone only a light polish. The gold engraving on the side is also clear.
The case back also has only minor scratches, and the serial engraving is clear and clean.
The glass is also in very good condition overall, despite minor scratches and slight chips.
The dial is a very clean original PARIS dial without cracks.
It has a slight ivory tone, but with minimal discoloration, it can still be considered a white dial.
There are minor smudges, but they are almost unnoticeable.
While there are no cracks, there is a faint hairline scratch extending from the "E" in the CARTIER logo towards the 10 o'clock position.
It is only visible under certain lighting conditions if you look very closely (we consider this a very faint scratch, not a crack).
This scratch is difficult to capture in photos, so if you require a video, please let us know.
It is a rare PARIS dial individual in exceptionally good condition.
Both the case and the dial are in excellent condition.
The buckle is an authentic Cartier 18k buckle.
