Cartier Tank Francaise,18k White Gold, 25mm x 30mm WE1018S3 (2001)

The Tank Française model is probably among the most popular models in the Cartier catalogue. The Tank Française has succeeded in breaking away from the traditional ideals of a luxury watch, by offering jewelry watches, with diamonds in precious materials, as a mainstream option and watches that were limited to a select few, becoming more available to the masses.. “Française” means “French woman” in French, as the early renditions of this reference were inspirations for women wearers. However, the Francaise line continues today and aims to be worn by both men and women alike, keeping to its iconic, yet versatile design.
