Although Cartier is primarily known for its jewelry, the brand has a rich history in the world of horology that has only recently started to gain the recognition it deserves. For many years, this history was overlooked, prompting Cartier to launch the Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP) in 1998. This collection was a way for Cartier to expand their horological offerings following the Quartz Crisis and to showcase their watchmaking division’s new designs and impressive feats of horology, ushering in a new era for the brand.
As an experienced watch collector, I am pleased to introduce the Cartier Tank à Vis Collection Privée 2484 in CPCP Family 18K Rose Gold.
The silvered, guilloché dial of the Tank à Vis Collection Privée 2484 adds a touch of sophistication and depth to the watch, while the black Roman numerals and blued steel hands ensure that the time is easy to read at a glance. The date window located at the 6 o’clock position is an added practical feature.
The watch is powered by the Cartier calibre 437 MC, an 18-jewel movement that is highly accurate and reliable. The 18K rose gold case of the Tank à Vis Collection Privée 2484 measures 38.5 x 26mm, making it a relatively compact watch that is perfect for those who prefer a more understated look.
The closure of the watch is a Cartier alligator strap and 18K pink gold folding clasp, adding to the luxurious feel of the timepiece. The case, dial, and movement are all signed by Cartier, ensuring the authenticity and quality of the watch.
The Tank A Vis is a remarkable timepiece that perfectly embodies the CPCP’s objective of highlighting exceptional craftsmanship. It is a fascinating watch that holds a unique place in Cartier’s horological heritage and stands out as a distinct offering within the Tank collection. This watch seamlessly combines traditional design elements with superior watchmaking techniques and an aesthetically pleasing appearance, making the ref. 2484 truly exceptional in every way.This limited edition timepiece is a must-have for any serious Cartier watch collector.
This particular watch comes with its original box and papers, as well as a booklet, making it a complete and valuable addition to any collection.
