Cartier Tank Must de Cartier Ref. 2414 – A Sterling Classic in Grand Taille
An elegant embodiment of late 20th-century Cartier style, the Tank Must de Cartier Ref. 2414 stands as a refined tribute to the Maison’s enduring legacy. Rendered in sterling silver and presented in the rare large GM (Grand Modèle) size, this timepiece delivers timeless Parisian design with a bold wrist presence. With its radiant white dial adorned by striking blue Roman numerals, the Ref. 2414 is a testament to Cartier's ability to balance tradition with flair.
A Dial of Purity and Precision
At the core of this Tank Must beats a minimalist yet captivating white lacquered dial—flawless and unblemished—highlighted by deep blue Roman numerals that radiate across the rectangular expanse with classical elegance. This striking contrast, a Cartier hallmark, enhances both legibility and sophistication, while the traditional chemin de fer minute track encircles the design in subtle precision.
Blue sword-shaped hands glide with crisp definition, perfectly echoing the original blue sapphire cabochon crown, which adds a touch of vibrancy and regality to the silhouette.
Protected by the original mineral glass, the dial remains as pristine as it was at the time of its creation—an untouched canvas of Cartier artistry.
Sterling Silver Craftsmanship in Large Format
Unlike its more commonly seen mid-sized siblings, this Ref. 2414 is presented in the rarer and more sought-after Grand Modèle size, measuring 25mm x 33mm. The case, crafted in solid 925 sterling silver, offers a weighty elegance and a gentle warmth on the wrist, preserving the iconic lines and art deco silhouette of the Tank collection.
The watch retains its original Cartier leather strap and stainless steel deployant clasp, both signed, completing the watch’s period-correct aesthetic and functionality.
