Among the many Tank models that Cartier has produced, such as the Cintrée, the Chinoise, or the Louis Cartier, all of which are simply fantastic, arguably the most revered remains the Tank Américaine, introduced in 1989. The present lot is an example of reference 2489, crafted in 18-carat white gold, absolutely stunning in its design and captivating when adorned. The watch is powered by a highly precise quartz movement. The sizable crown with an intricately carved diamond is flawless in its preservation, just like the beautiful dial that complements it perfectly. Notably, the dial is exceptionally rare, featuring a pave of interwoven diamonds alternating with small windows adorned with the Cartier logo, creating a captivating checkerboard pattern. Adding to the opulence of this diamond-studded crown and dial structure, the white-gold case is embellished with two strips of diamonds. This exquisite timepiece is not only a testament to Cartier’s mastery in design and craftsmanship, but also a rare and coveted addition to any discerning collector’s ensemble.
