An elegant large-size Cartier London Tank with ultra-thin JLC movement, circa 1976. This configuration, unlike most London Tanks, retains chemin de fer. The ultimate under the radar Tank London. For those outside the know, this could pass for a Paris or post-merger Tank Louis save for the quintessentially London script signature and mesmerizing no-screw case.
This example is accompanied by its original box which proudly positions the London New Bond St. boutique first, above Paris and New York. This is a fitting hierarchy; Cartier London’s creations were superior and the collecting world has taken notice. The watch also comes with a period correct and likely original deployant buckle with UK hallmark but no serial #. It just underwent a full service and is ready to be enjoyed.
