Vintage Cartier, Authentically Yours
Cartier Stepped Tank White Dial Ref. 5512116
A rare stepped Tank model among vintage Cartier watches
This model was produced in very limited quantities in New York, Paris, and London around 1970 (approximately between 1973 and 1976).
There are subtle design differences between the regions.
This is either a Paris or London model, featuring a push-back case with no screws on the case back.
Because Paris and London were both in Europe, the models are remarkably similar and difficult to distinguish. This model was sold in either Paris or London.
Only 5,000 were produced in each location at the time, making this an exceptionally rare piece.
Cartier watches with Case Size this large were produced and distributed in limited quantities, and solid-gold versions have become particularly valuable.
This watch features a vermeil case and a standard White Dial.
The Buckle is an original Cartier gold-plated piece from the period.
The Strap is aftermarket.
This is a rare, unusually large model among vintage Cartier watches.
