Cartier Tank Américaine Lady Yellow Gold ref. 1710 - 2003 (papers)

More curved, more elongated: unquestionably more sensual

Description

Faithful to the style of its predecessor, this Tank Américaine Lady reference 1710, retains the iconic codes: gold case, brancards, railway-track minute scale, blued hands and a winding crown topped with a sapphire cabochon, while introducing a few variations that define its own personality. With its elongated lines and curved silhouette, it hugs the wrist beautifully, making it almost imperceptible. A well-known Tank, yet one that remains far from commonplace. The yellow gold adds a precious radiance and pairs wonderfully with its green leather Cartier strap.

How to wear it?

Elegant, refined and chic, the Tank Américaine can be worn on any occasion, day or night. From evening dress to jeans, it is always the perfect choice. A watch that adapts effortlessly to every outfit!

The green leather strap softens the watch’s “precious” feel and suits it beautifully. It pairs particularly well with yellow gold.

Why did Françoise choose it?

How could Françoise not offer such a beautiful model? The Tank Américaine never goes unnoticed, not because of an imposing size, but thanks to its refined elegance, which gives it remarkable presence on the wrist. A timeless model with undeniable allure.

History

After launching the Tank Normale in 1917, the Maison of the panther introduced a new model four years later: the Tank Cintrée. It featured a more dynamic line, a curved case, and a shape designed to follow the wrist’s contour, while retaining the defining characteristics of its predecessor, including the sapphire cabochon, a nod to Cartier’s jewellery roots. Over the decades, the Tank has undergone numerous variations. The Tank Américaine was born in 1989. Inspired by the profile of the Tank Cintrée, its design became narrower, more elongated, more arched, and slightly thicker.
