We are pleased to offer this exquisite Cartier Tank Louis Paris Dial 18K Ref. 878087 from the 1990s, a testament to Cartier’s legendary craftsmanship and timeless design. This model, from the pre-Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP) era, features the highly sought-after ‘Paris’ dial, adding to its exclusivity and desirability among collectors.
Encased in a 20x28mm solid 18K yellow gold case, this refined timepiece retains all the hallmarks of the iconic Louis Cartier collection—a symbol of understated elegance. The original Cartier manual-wind movement has been recently serviced, ensuring excellent timekeeping performance.
The watch is paired with a handmade lizard leather strap (crafted in Belgium) and is fitted with a Cartier vermeil buckle, enhancing its vintage charm.
