Cartier Tank Louis Large WGTA0011 2021 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Cartier Tank Louis Cartier Large WGTA0011 runs on Cartier's own Calibre 1917 MC, the manufacture movement introduced in 2017 to mark the Tank's 100th anniversary and named for the year Louis Cartier conceived the design. It replaced the outsourced Jaeger-LeCoultre-based calibre that had powered the model for decades, bringing the movement fully in-house for the first time. The case is 18k rose gold, 33.7mm x 25.5mm, the Large proportions within the Tank Louis Cartier line.

The rose gold case carries the softly rounded brancards and slim profile that define the Tank Louis Cartier silhouette. The dial is silvered and beaded, with elongated black Roman numerals, a rail-track minute scale, and blued-steel sword hands. The crown is beaded rose gold, set with a sapphire cabochon.

The Calibre 1917 MC is hand-wound, 19 jewels, running at 21,600 vph with a 38-hour power reserve; at 2.9mm high, it was purpose-built to fit the Tank's rectangular case rather than adapted from a round ébauche. There is no seconds hand and no date window, in keeping with the model's traditional time-only specification. Water resistance is 30 metres, in line with a dress watch rather than a daily-wear sports reference, worth noting for a buyer weighing this against a steel sports piece as an everyday watch.

Within the Tank Louis Cartier range, the Large in rose gold sits above the Medium in both scale and material cost, and within Cartier's broader Tank family it occupies clearly dressed territory against the steel Tank Française and Tank Must references. Preowned examples from this period trade at a discount to current retail, reflecting Cartier's steady but unhurried price movement on gold dress pieces relative to Rolex's sports catalogue. We see this as a sound entry point for a rose gold dress watch bought to wear rather than trade. This piece is preowned, excellent condition, complete original set with box and papers dated November 2021, at RM42,000.
