Cartier Tank Louis Medium WGTA0303 Platinum Gray Dial (2025)

描述

The Cartier Tank occupies one of the most influential positions in watchmaking history, conceived by Louis Cartier in 1917 with inspiration drawn from the geometric form of the Renault FT-17 tanks of the Great War. The Tank Louis Cartier, refined in 1922, established the definitive dress execution that has endured for over a century. Reference WGTA0303 represents the rarest and most pedigreed metal expression of the model — rendered in 950 platinum, the most prestigious and dense of precious metals. The tonal harmony between the platinum case, grey sunray dial, and rhodium-finished hands creates a singularly understated monochromatic statement, the kind of refined sophistication that has made the Tank a fixture of statesmen, artists, and connoisseurs for more than a century.

The 33.7 x 25.5mm case in 950 platinum measures just 6.6mm thick, distinguished by the signature parallel brancards and beaded platinum crown set with a ruby cabochon — a distinguishing detail unique to the platinum reference. The grey sunray dial carries rhodium-finished steel sword-shaped hands, Cartier’s iconic Roman numerals, and a railway-style minute scale beneath a mineral crystal. The hand-wound in-house Caliber 1917 MC drives the timekeeping with a 38-hour power reserve, completed by a semi-matte grey alligator leather strap with platinum buckle.
