Cartier Tank Louis LM WGTA0058 Rose Gold Silvery-Blue Dial (2022)

The Cartier Tank occupies a foundational position in watchmaking as one of the most influential designs ever created — conceived by Louis Cartier in 1917, inspired by the geometric form of the Renault FT-17 tanks deployed during the Great War. The Tank Louis Cartier, refined in 1922, established the definitive dress execution that has endured for over a century. Reference WGTA0058 represents the large-model expression in 18-karat rose gold, distinguished by a striking two-tone dial that nods to Art Deco design tradition: a deep blue outer chapter ring with rose gold geometric framing and Roman numerals enclosing a central silvered grey rectangle, evoking the jazz-age sophistication for which Cartier built its enduring reputation. The 33.7 x 25.5mm case in 18-karat rose gold features the signature parallel brancards flanking the dial and a beaded rose gold crown set with a sapphire cabochon. The Art Deco-influenced dial pairs the blue outer zone with rose gold linear framing and Roman numerals against a silvered grey central panel bearing the Cartier signature, complemented by rose gold sword-shaped hands. A manual-winding Cartier caliber drives the timekeeping with approximately 38 hours of power reserve, completed by a blue alligator leather strap with rose gold pin buckle.
