Cartier Tank Cintree Jumbo White Gold on Bracelet

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 1970's Jumbo example is offered in wonderful condition. Already a rare specimen on account of its 18kt white gold Jumbo case, this example is also offered on an exceptionally rare white gold Cartier bracelet.

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 overall condition. The case has superficial scratches and wear, but no major dings. The 5 row white gold bracelet is showing little to no stretch. It fits a 6 3/4" wrist and is detachable.

Our Perspective

Combining the Cintree's incredibly comfortable and distinctive design with its rare 18kt white gold bracelet, this example's heft provides it a wrist presence that very few watches can emulate as the Cintree's curved case and bracelet luxuriously hug the wrist.
