{"product_id":"cartier-tank-cintree-4123-yg","title":"Cartier Tank Cintrée 4123 YG","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe name Cartier needs no introduction. As one of the most influential and celebrated jewellery and watch brands of the last century, it has long stood as a symbol of luxury and refinement. While Cartier has made significant contributions to horology, its reputation in watchmaking has always rested primarily on design rather than technical innovation. Models such as the Tank, the Crash and the Santos are celebrated as much for their forms as for the mechanics within. Even today, it is this commitment to beautiful and unconventional aesthetics that continues to attract collectors, allowing Cartier to occupy a unique position within the hierarchy of watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eExceptionally elegant, majestic and revered for its enduring appeal, we have here an outstanding example of the Cartier Tank Cintrée in 18-carat yellow gold. While Cartier has created no shortage of iconic models, few would dispute that the Tank Cintrée sits at the pinnacle of the maison's catalogue. Introduced in 1921, just two years after the original Tank, it has appeared only periodically throughout Cartier's history. Adding to its mystique, the Cintrée was traditionally produced either on a made-to-order basis or in exceptionally small quantities, making virtually every example a special one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eConceived as a more refined and graceful interpretation of the original Tank, the Cintrée is defined by its elongated yet slender proportions. Measuring 46.3 mm by 23 mm, the case gently curves to follow the contour of the wrist, allowing it to wear remarkably comfortably while slipping effortlessly beneath a cuff. As with all Tank Cintrées, words alone struggle to convey just how thoughtfully resolved the design is. Only after wearing one does its reputation truly make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe dial showcases many of Cartier's most recognisable signatures, presenting an understated yet luxurious aesthetic. A subtle brushed finish pays tribute to the earliest Tank models, while a rich champagne dial is complemented by a contrasting railway minute track, polished and highly stylised applied Arabic numerals at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, and a set of blued steel épée hands. Completing the composition is Cartier's signature sapphire cabochon crown, providing a striking visual counterpoint to the blued handset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePowering the watch is Cartier's manual winding Cal. 8971 MC, based on Jaeger-LeCoultre's Cal. 846. Measuring just 2.9 mm thick, the movement offers approximately 36 hours of power reserve on a full wind while allowing the Cintrée to retain its remarkably elegant profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMore than a century after its introduction, it is no mystery why the Tank Cintrée remains one of Cartier's defining creations. It simply looks and wears unlike almost anything else, a testament to the enduring brilliance of its proportions. Undoubtedly one of the most iconic wristwatches ever created, the Tank Cintrée remains as captivating today as it was over a century ago, and for many collectors, it represents Cartier at its very best.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2022","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44064601833559,"sku":null,"price":25000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1872\/9369\/files\/Cartier-Tank-Cintree-4123-WGTA0026-YG_0048_Layer-71.png?v=1784770842","url":"https:\/\/www.ssongwatches.com\/products\/cartier-tank-cintree-4123-yg","provider":"S.Song Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
