The Quintessential Dress Watch
The Cartier Tank Louis reference 67117 from 1985 stands as the pure, unadulterated icon of classical watch design. Designed personally by Louis Cartier in 1917 and inspired by the geometric lines of military tanks on the Western Front, the Tank Louis set the standard for rectangular wristwatches. This 1985 execution captures the exact refined proportions and luxurious spirit that made the line a favorite among royalty, artists, and style icons across the globe.
Pure 18K Gold Aesthetics
As showcased in the image _1.JPG, this reference 67117 features a soft, rounded rectangular case crafted from solid 18K yellow gold. The classic white dial is adorned with Cartier’s signature bold Roman numerals, a inner rail-track minute scale, and blued-steel sword hands. The crown is capped with Cartier’s iconic blue sapphire cabochon. Measuring approximately 22 mm including the crown with a slender 7 mm height, it sits on a black leather strap with jewelry-like grace and timeless sophistication.
