Striking Cartier Tank Must de Vermeil GM from the 1980s, featuring the highly sought-after black “onyx” dial—an elegant and timeless variation of Cartier’s iconic rectangular design.
The refined 23 × 30 mm vermeil case (gold-plated sterling silver) retains the classic Tank proportions, offering a sophisticated yet confident wrist presence. The case shows light, honest wear consistent with age, including discreet area of plating wear on, not visible when worn and restorable if desired.
The standout feature is the perfect black onyx-style dial, offering deep glossy contrast and exceptional visual elegance. Signed “Swiss Made,” this Cartier service dial was professionally replaced by Cartier during a past service, preserving the watch’s crisp and flawless appearance while maintaining full Cartier authenticity.
Powered by the manual-wind Cartier Calibre 78-1, running smoothly and delivering reliable performance in line with its heritage.
Fitted with a handmade Belgian leather strap, carefully selected to complement the watch’s elegant vintage aesthetic, and paired with a classic pin buckle for a clean and understated finish.
