This elegantly classic wristwatch evokes the signature style of the Cartier Tank design, which was introduced in 1917 and inspired by the heroism of the Allied tanks that defended France during World War 1. Over three exquisite carats of valuable 12 calibre-cut sapphires and 24 octagon and calibre-cut diamonds on the dial and bezel form the captivating face of this jewelled wristwatch.
