Cartier Must de Tank Vermeil – Vendôme Roman Ivory & Column Dial – Reference 590005
A distinguished entry in Cartier’s famed Must de Tank collection, this Reference 590005 exudes the brand’s iconic aesthetic—refined, elegant, and enduringly timeless.
Housed in a classic 23mm x 30mm vermeil case, composed of sterling silver coated in luxurious 18k gold, the watch retains the clean, minimalist geometry that defines the Tank lineage. This example features a particularly captivating Vendôme Roman Ivory dial, known for its warm, parchment-like tone and exquisite guilloché column detailing. Gilt Roman numerals and heat-blued sword hands complete the dial’s quietly luxurious composition.
Inside beats the Cartier Calibre 90 quartz movement, chosen for its precise timekeeping and hassle-free maintenance—ideal for those seeking a sophisticated daily companion or a reliable dress piece.
This watch underwent a full Cartier service in 2025, including the replacement of the dial, blue hands, sapphire crown, and internal movement revision—a comprehensive package totaling over €390. The service comes with a 2-year Cartier international warranty, offering peace of mind and long-term value.
It is presented on a handmade leather strap crafted in Belgium, paired with a regular Cartier gold-plated buckle, ensuring both individuality and authenticity. The visual flow from case to clasp remains cohesive and elegant.
Whether you're a dedicated collector or a first-time buyer looking for a classic Cartier piece, this Must de Tank offers both rarity and enduring appeal with its uncommon dial, recent Cartier overhaul, and tasteful upgrades.
