Cartier Cintree Yellow Gold

How do I bid? Start here

Introduction

Launched in 1921, two years after the original Cartier Tank debuted in 1919, the slim and elongated Tank Cintree has remained in the brand’s repertoire intermittently ever since its launch all those years ago. Typically offered as a limited edition offering irrespective of variant, the Cintree is a special watch. Manually wound and featuring a beautiful curved dial, case, and crystal, the Cintree sits perfectly on the wearer as it wraps around the curvature of the wrist. With exploding Roman numerals and Cartier's signature chemin de fer railroad-style minute track this Cintree remains entirely grounded in Cartier's quintessential design language, as the French watchmaker has endeavored to do since the Cintree was launched over 100 years ago. This mid-sized example is offered in wonderful condition with a well-preserved dial and was produced during the mid 1970s.

THE DIAL

Featuring a bright white dial, the Cintree nods to Cartier's classical styling, with its blued steel hands, elongated 'exploding' Roman numerals, and Cartier's signature chemin-de-fer minutes track.

THE CONSTRUCTION

Featuring its elongated and curved construction, the Cintree wraps around the contours of the wrist in such a way that very few other timepieces can quite emulate.

TIMING MACHINE READOUT

This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.

Condition

Watch is in excellent original condition. Case edges are sharp and minimal surface wear on the case.

Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.

Our Perspective

An iconic watch on account of its incredibly comfortable and distinctive design, the Cintree takes where the Tank left off with its rectangular case and elongates it, so it comfortably wraps around the wrist and provides the wearer with even more wrist presence than its sibling model.
