Cartier Tank - Must de Cartier "Limoncello"

Cartier Tank Must de Cartier "Limoncello" Ref. 2914 | Rare Lemon Dial | 1980s Vintage Classic

Description:

This stunning Cartier Tank Must de Cartier "Limoncello" Ref. 2914 is a true gem from the 1980s, featuring a rare and vibrant lemon-colored dial that we affectionately call "Limoncello." Its cheerful hue makes it the perfect accessory for summer, adding a pop of color to any outfit.

Encased in sterling silver with 20 microns of 18k gold electroplating, this watch exudes luxury and sophistication. Powered by a reliable 17-jewel Swiss mechanical manual wind movement, it combines timeless elegance with vintage functionality. The blued hands, blue cabochon crown, and brown original Cartier strap complete this iconic Tank design, making it a must-have for collectors and Cartier enthusiasts alike.

Historical Significance:

The Cartier Tank Must de Cartier line was introduced in the 1970s as a more accessible entry point into the world of Cartier, without compromising on the brand’s signature elegance and craftsmanship.

The "Vermeil" models, like this Ref. 2914, feature sterling silver cases with 18k gold electroplating, offering the look of solid gold at a fraction of the cost. This particular watch, with its rare lemon-colored dial, is a standout piece from the 1980s, embodying the playful yet sophisticated spirit of the era. Its vibrant dial and classic Tank design make it a highly collectible and wearable vintage timepiece.

Why This Watch Stands Out:

• Rare Lemon Dial: The vibrant "Limoncello" dial is a rare and eye-catching feature, perfect for summer and adding a unique touch to any collection.
• Vermeil Case: The sterling silver case with 18k gold electroplating offers the luxury of gold with exceptional durability.
• Iconic Design: The Tank Must de Cartier is a timeless classic, known for its rectangular case and clean, elegant lines.
• Original Cartier Strap: The brown leather strap and engraved clasp add to the watch’s authenticity and charm.
• Vintage Appeal: As a piece from the 1980s, this watch carries the nostalgia and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
