A late Must de Cartier Tank in vermeil with the sought-after black lacquer dial and manual winding movement - a configuration that feels distinctly evening-wear Cartier. The minimal dial, cabochon crown, and slim rectangular proportions stay true to the quiet elegance that defined the Must line through the late ’80s and early ’90s.

Case
Gold-plated rectangular Tank case with rounded brancards and blue cabochon crown. The case presents in very good vintage condition with light surface wear and fine hairline marks visible under close inspection. Hallmarks and engravings on the reverse remain clearly visible.

Dial
Black lacquer dial signed Must de Cartier with gold-tone Cartier signature and matching handset. The dial appears clean and glossy with well-preserved printing and strong contrast throughout.

Crystal
Crystal appears clear with minimal visible wear, maintaining strong legibility.

Strap & Buckle
Original Cartier leather strap and original Cartier gold-tone buckle present. Strap shows visible creasing and wear consistent with age and use, while remaining functional and wearable.

Caseback
Signed Cartier caseback with serial and reference engravings intact. Surface shows light scratches and gentle wear consistent with normal vintage handling.

Functionality
Quartz movement in perfect working order.
