Cartier Tank à Vis LM — Collection Privée Paris (CPCP)

🕰 Cartier Tank à Vis LM — Collection Privée Paris (CPCP)
 
A jewel from Cartier’s golden era of mechanical watchmaking.

The Tank à Vis LM represents the pinnacle of the Collection Privée Paris (CPCP) series — a faithful revival of the original 1930s design, now elevated with exquisite Geneva finishing and a transparent sapphire caseback. For many collectors, this is the Cartier to own: elegant, architectural, and quietly rare.
