Cartier Tank Solo 'Small' 2743 / W1018755 + Box & Papers (2015)

At 10 over 10, we have a fondness for vintage watches, but sometimes we like to make an exception for newer models that also fit perfectly into our collection! The iconic Cartier Tank Solo watch we have here is crafted in 18K yellow gold and was produced from 2004 until approximately 2019. The model was then succeeded by the Cartier Tank Must.

The 18K yellow gold case of this Tank Solo Small is still in good condition. The case measures 31 mm x 24 mm, making it perfect for both ladies and gentlemen who prefer a more classic style. The watch features the characteristic silver dial with Roman numerals and dark blue sword-shaped hands. And, of course, the distinctive blue cabochon on the crown is not to be missed. A beautiful example that embodies all the qualities of a Cartier Tank, if you ask us!

This Cartier Tank Solo Small 2743 from 2015 comes on a new black leather strap, fitted with an 18K yellow gold Cartier buckle. This also makes the watch a stunning piece of jewelry. Additionally, this classic Cartier Tank Solo watch comes with its Cartier box, papers, and a 2-year mechanical warranty.

The interior and cushion of Cartier boxes from this period typically show signs of wear quite quickly. In this example, the inside of the box shows signs of aging.

Cartier

The Cartier Tank watch is one of the most iconic watches in the history of haute horlogerie. The Tank was first introduced in 1917 and quickly became a timeless symbol of style and elegance. To this day, the Cartier Tank remains one of Cartier's most popular and successful models. 

The story behind the Cartier Tank watch begins with Louis Cartier, the founder of Cartier. He was inspired by the tanks used during the First World War. The tanks' clean lines and shapes sparked his interest, and he decided to translate them into a watch design. The first Cartier Tank watch was introduced in 1917. The model stood out with its rectangular case with rounded corners, which was reminiscent of the shape of a tank. The tank featured a simple dial with Roman numerals and blue steel hands. It was a radical design for its time, as most watches then had round cases. The Cartier Tank watch quickly became popular among high society and celebrities, including style icons such as Jacqueline Kennedy, Andy Warhol, and Princess Diana. The watch was regarded as a symbol of refinement and class.
