Cartier Platinum Tank Asymétrique Limited Edition of 100

In 1996, Cartier reintroduced one of its most original 1930s creations—the “Parallelogram”, later known as the Tank Asymétrique. Its tilted case and bold Arabic numerals were conceived to improve legibility while driving, a design quirk that has since become one of Cartier’s most distinctive signatures.

Produced in just 100 platinum examples, the present watch is number 008 of the platinum edition. Elegant and unconventional, it embodies the maison’s genius for transforming avant-garde design concepts into enduring classics.

Inside beats the prestigious Piaget Caliber 9P2, an ultra-thin, hand-wound movement measuring an astonishing 2 mm thick. Celebrated by collectors as one of the finest manual-wind calibers ever engineered, this movement represents a golden era of mechanical collaboration, gracefully pairing Cartier's architectural mastery with Piaget’s historic ultra-thin watchmaking prowess.
