In the early 1970s, Cartier sought to make its luxury goods more accessible to a broader audience. This led to the creation of the "Must de Cartier" line, which introduced more affordable yet still high-quality products, including watches, accessories, and fragrances. These pieces were characterized by their understated elegance and the iconic Cartier branding.
Combining the classic Tank design with the affordability and allure of vermeil, the Must de Cartier Tank Vermeil watch quickly became a symbol of style and sophistication. Its sleek rectangular case, choice of colourful dials, and blue sapphire cabochon crown are emblematic of Cartier's design ethos.
The Cartier we have for sale is the reference 590005 "mid size which measures 23.5 mm x 31mm. It features a clean ivory roman numeral dial with Cartiers signiture blue sword hands.
