CARTIER – TANK MUST VERMEIL Cartier Tank Must Vermeil wristwatch. Rectangular vermeil case (925-thousandths silver plated with gold), crown set with a blue sapphire cabochon. Blue lacquered dial bearing the “Must by Cartier” signature, without numerals, featuring gold sword-shaped hands. Hand-wound mechanical movement. Leather strap with pin buckle. Dimensions: 28 × 20 mm. Gross weight: 22.20 g. Note: Launched in the late 1970s, Cartier’s Must collection made the Maison’s iconic creations accessible to a wider audience through the use of vermeil. Models with monochrome dials, such as this elegant deep blue dial, are now particularly sought after by collectors for their refined aesthetic and resolutely timeless character. This mechanical model stands as an iconic testament to Cartier’s creative revival in the 1980s.
