Cartier Platinum Cintree Skeleton Anniversary

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. Standing as one of the most visually unique variants of the Cintree that Cartier have ever produced is the variant we have here, the ref. WHTA0009. Constructed of platinum, its jumbo case is an immaculate representation of Cartier, the jeweler, while its skeletonized dial and movement provide a wonderful view of Cartier as the watchmaker. Produced in 2018 and offered as a limited edition run of just 100 pieces, this manually-wound beauty is everything the Cintree is meant to be with regards to its rarity, elegance, and luxurious construction all combining to typify the famed French jeweler and watchmaker and one of their oldest designs.

THE DIAL

Featuring a wonderfully executed skeletonized dial, this Cintree's display allows its platinum construction and silver chapter rings and bridges to blend together to create a monochromatic aesthetic that its blued steel hands can pop against.

THE MOVEMENT

Featuring an entirely skeletonized movement, the Cintree's hollowed bridges, gears, and baseplate all display impressive levels of finishing as they combine to provide a complete view through the cal. 9917 MC and its labyrinthine construction.

Our Perspective

An entirely unique variant of the Cintree in terms of its skeletonized design and monochromatic aesthetic, this example's movement and display enable it to wear unlike any Cintree that has come before it.
