Cartier Must de Tank Vermeil – White Opaline Roman Dial – Reference 5057001
Original Deployment Clasp – Brand new Strap – Honest Patina
A refined expression of Cartier’s enduring design language, this Cartier Must de Tank Vermeil, Reference 5057001, presents the maison’s iconic Tank silhouette in a rare and elegant configuration. It features a white opaline Roman dialwith black numerals arranged in a traditional circular format, a layout far less commonly seen and cherished for its vintage charm.
Dial & Condition
The dial is a soft white opaline, subtly textured and richly classical in tone. It is accented by Cartier’s signature blued steel hands, offering a refined contrast against the warm dial backdrop. The dial remains in good vintage condition, with only minor spotting—a natural and honest patina that speaks to its authenticity and character without distracting from its elegance.
Case & Movement
Housed in a 20mm x 28mm vermeil case—sterling silver coated in 18k yellow gold—it showcases Cartier’s small Tank form, which wears gracefully on the wrist while maintaining a strong design presence. At its core is the Cartier Caliber 057 quartz movement, offering reliable, accurate performance with minimal maintenance.
Strap & Clasp
This example is fitted with a brand new, hand-made black leather strap from Belgium, offering modern comfort and artisanal quality. It is secured by the original Cartier gold-plated deployment clasp, a premium fastening mechanism that adds both functionality and vintage distinction.
Why It’s Special
This version of the Tank Must de Vermeil blends subtle luxury with an increasingly rare dial layout, made all the more compelling by its honest condition and original components. For those seeking a compact, historically rich Cartier that can be worn daily or reserved for dress occasions, Reference 5057001 delivers a tasteful balance of heritage and refinement.
