Calibre: both quartz, jewelled

Case: both 18k yellow gold, case back secured by 4 screws

Seldom seen as a pair in both sizes of the same reference, the use of a small seconds dial is very unusual to find in the Tank Louis collection, and indeed only produced for a short time only. Interestingly, both watches of this present pair come with the rare and sought-after metal brick-style bracelet, further elevating its collectibility. Staying true to the original design by its namesake, Louis Cartier, this lot stands to represent a bridge between vintage and contemporary references of the iconic Tank Louis and a perfect couples’ set.
