Cartier Tank à Vis Rose Gold Dual Time CPCP (Ref. 2594)

Worth A Read History and Significance The Collection Privée Cartier Paris, commonly known as CPCP, represents one of the most celebrated periods in modern Cartier watchmaking. Introduced in the late 1990s, the collection focused on historically important Cartier designs paired with higher-grade movements and precious metal cases. Among the most interesting models produced during the CPCP era is the Tank à Vis Dual Time. While many GMT watches prioritize utility through rotating bezels or additional hands, Cartier approached the complication from a completely different perspective. Rather than adding visual clutter, the watch displays a second time zone through a separate dial on the reverse side of the case. The result is an exceptionally elegant travel watch. The front remains a traditional Tank à Vis with its guilloché dial and Roman numerals, while the reverse reveals an entirely separate dial dedicated to a second time zone. Combined with the exhibition caseback architecture and manually wound movement, it is one of the most creative GMT executions produced by any major luxury brand. Executed in rose gold and fitted with its original deployant clasp, this example represents one of the most desirable configurations of the reference. Writer’s Thoughts When you think of GMTs or travel times, you think of something pretty sporty. This one puts the dual time complication in a very classy model. That's what makes it so appealing. It remains a classic Cartier dress watch, then you turn it over and discover a beautiful movement with an amazing finish and fun complication. Our Promise Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. Each piece is offered in honest condition, ensuring collectors receive a timepiece that reflects both originality and integrity.
