Cartier Tank à Guichets "CPCP", Reference 2817 A limited edition pink gold jumping hour wristwatch, Circa 2004 Dial: apertured Calibre: cal. 9752 MC mechanical, 19 jewels Case: 18k pink gold, case back secured by 8 screws Case number: limited edition 066/100 Closure: black Cartier alligator strap and 18k pink gold folding clasp Size: 40 mm length x 27 mm width Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: Cartier Certificate, product literature and presentation box It was Louis Cartier who pushed the philosophy of Art Deco minimalism to its purest expression with the introduction of the Tank à Guichets in 1928. Famously worn by jazz legend Duke Ellington, the model has since achieved iconic status within the maison's rich design legacy. The present lot represents a faithful reinterpretation of this groundbreaking design, unveiled as part of Cartier's highly coveted Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP). Produced in a strictly limited series of just 100 examples in pink gold, it embodies an uncompromising approach to elegance and restraint. Distinguished by its satin-finished gold façade, the watch dispenses entirely with a conventional dial, revealing only two apertures: a jumping hour display at 12 o’clock and a minute display at 6 o’clock. This radical simplification of form not only highlights the ingenuity of its digital-style display but also underscores the enduring modernity of Cartier's vision.

Cartier Tank à Guichets, No. 80 A limited edition platinum jumping hours wristwatch, Made to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Cartier, Circa 1997 Dial: apertured Calibre: cal. 9752MC mechanical, 19 jewels Case: platinum, case back secured by 4 screws Case number: limited edition 080/150 Closure: unsigned red alligator strap and 18k white gold Cartier folding clasp Size: 37 mm length x 25.5 mm width Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: none Even though the jumping hours complication can very much be called the current “flavour of the month”, few brands can claim to have genuine heritage and historic roots in this eccentric complication, with Cartier being one such brand. Indeed, the first of Cartier’s Tank à Guichets was introduced by Louis Cartier himself almost a century ago in 1928, with the name literally translating to ‘counters’ or ‘windows’, a fitting moniker for the unusual method of time-telling. Still retaining all of the signature elements which make the Tank so revered, but now pairing them with a closed dial, Cartier unknowingly created a timeless masterpiece which looks every bit as avant-garde today as it did back in the previous century. Throughout the decades since its creation, the Tank à Guichets was made in extremely limited quantities, often on an upon-request basis. This has resulted in a plethora of design differences observable across vintage examples which have surfaced, including variations in size, aperture layout and crown location. This combined with the scarcity and distinct design have resulted in the model becoming extremely collectible and favoured by connoisseurs. For their grand 150th anniversary in 1997, Cartier decided to bring back the Tank à Guichets design, and for the first time ever manufactured it in a series, limited to just 150 pieces. This anniversary edition marked somewhat of a rebirth of the model, not just within La Maison’s catalogue, but also in the collecting zeitgeist, and the brand went on to introduce several more executions, but none more favoured than the present 1997 anniversary run.
