Cartier Tank Must de Brown “Wood” Dial Vermeil PM from 1980s

A charming and distinctive Cartier Tank Must de Vermeil PM from the 1980s, featuring an unusual brown “Wood” lacquer dial. With its rich tonal palette, classic vermeil case and mechanical manual-wind movement, this is a wonderfully characteristic example of vintage Cartier.

The 20 × 28 mm vermeil case remains in great condition, with its warm gold-plated finish pairing beautifully with the deep brown dial.

The original Cartier brown “Wood” dial is the defining feature of this piece. Its lacquer surface has developed an attractive natural spider effect over the years, giving the watch authentic vintage character and a unique appearance. Golden hands complement the warm tones of the dial and case, while the signature blue sapphire cabochon crownprovides the unmistakable Cartier finishing touch.

Inside beats the Cartier Calibre 78-1 manual-wind mechanical movement, freshly serviced and running excellent. The watch is accompanied by a one-year service warranty.

A spotless mineral crystal protects the dial, while a handmade Belgian brown leather strap completes the warm, understated aesthetic.
