Chopard Tank XL Oversize 18k Yellow Gold Quartz Ref. 2221 – Refined Elegance in a Bold Form

Few designs capture the refined geometry and timeless presence of the classic Tank style as gracefully as this Chopard Ref. 2221. Crafted in solid 18k yellow gold, this oversize rectangular watch delivers a striking blend of sophistication, presence, and enduring wearability. With its larger proportions and quartz precision, it offers a luxurious alternative to the Cartier Tank of the same era — bigger, rarer, and more accessible.

This example remains in pristine condition, paired with its original Chopard leather strap and gold-plated buckle, making it an exceptional choice for collectors seeking understated yet commanding vintage elegance.

Case – Oversized Golden Geometry

Measuring 24x33mm, the 18k yellow gold case embodies the boldness of Chopard’s oversize Tank style. The clean lines and broad rectangular form project a strong wrist presence while maintaining the refined elegance characteristic of the Tank silhouette.

A sapphire-set crown adds a discreet touch of luxury, while the mineral glass crystal completes the case with both clarity and vintage authenticity. With its sharp proportions and rich gold tone, this case wears larger and bolder than many comparable pieces of the same period.

Dial – Purity and Classic Roman Charm

The dial exemplifies timeless design: a clean white canvas with crisp black Roman numerals, perfectly balanced to highlight the watch’s rectangular geometry. The minimalist aesthetic channels the heritage of classic Tank-style watches, ensuring a design that is as versatile today as when it was created.

Its flawless preservation ensures crisp legibility and enduring elegance — a statement of purity and sophistication.

Movement – Quartz Precision, Chopard Calibre 956 032

Inside, the watch is powered by the Chopard calibre 956 032 quartz movement. Known for its reliability and precision, this calibre reflects Chopard’s mastery in combining high-end luxury cases with practical, enduring functionality. For collectors, it offers the assurance of accuracy without compromise.

Strap – Original Chopard Elegance

The watch retains its original Chopard leather strap, paired with a gold-plated buckle. Together, they enhance the authenticity and completeness of the piece while balancing vintage sophistication with everyday wearability.
