The Cartier Tank à Vis is a beautiful reminder of a pivotal moment in modern watchmaking. Launched in the wake of the Quartz Crisis, the Cartier Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP) was Cartier’s way of reaffirming its deep-rooted horological heritage, pairing historically inspired designs with finely executed manual movements. Drawing direct inspiration from the 1931 Tank Étanche, the Tank à Vis stands out with its distinctive screwed construction.
This full set was initially sold in 2002 by the Cartier Boutique in Luzern, Switzerland, and comes from the family of the first owner. It was serviced in March 2026.
