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 example we have here is yet another of the collection's limited edition references, the ref. WSTA0026. Launched in 2020, this collection stays true to the Cintree’s aesthetic and heritage as a typically low-volume model. It thus retains the Cintree’s iconic standing amongst Cartier’s collectors and was offered only to select Cartier VIPs. Featuring the Cintree’s signature precious metal construction, this 18k yellow gold beauty spans 46.3mm lug to lug and is just 23mm wide. With its silver dial, blued steel hands, and black dial inscriptions, the ref. WGTA0026 retains the essence of Cartier in as classical a fashion as we have learned to expect from the French watchmaker but with a modern twist that is elegant, sophisticated and luxurious.

A watch celebrating one of Cartier's most understated designs, the WSTA0026 distills the essence of what makes the Cintree so magical and offers it in a package that is decidedly lavish, elegant and historically-inspired all at once.
