Among the many models Cartier produced of the Tank this Réversible Cabriolet Basculante is one of the finest creations with unusual shape. The present lot is a specimen realized in 18k yellow gold with four-body polished and brushed case, cabochon sapphire-set on the bezel and sapphire glass on the case back to display the movement. The dial is silvered with painted radial Roman numerals, concentric minute track and blued steel epée hands. The hallmarks and engravings are all clearly defined and highly legible.
