Cartier Tank à Guichets "CPCP", Reference 2817 A limited edition pink gold jumping hour wristwatch, Circa 2004 Dial: apertured Calibre: cal. 9752 MC mechanical, 19 jewels Case: 18k pink gold, case back secured by 8 screws Case number: limited edition 066/100 Closure: black Cartier alligator strap and 18k pink gold folding clasp Size: 40 mm length x 27 mm width Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: Cartier Certificate, product literature and presentation box It was Louis Cartier who pushed the philosophy of Art Deco minimalism to its purest expression with the introduction of the Tank à Guichets in 1928. Famously worn by jazz legend Duke Ellington, the model has since achieved iconic status within the maison's rich design legacy. The present lot represents a faithful reinterpretation of this groundbreaking design, unveiled as part of Cartier's highly coveted Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP). Produced in a strictly limited series of just 100 examples in pink gold, it embodies an uncompromising approach to elegance and restraint. Distinguished by its satin-finished gold façade, the watch dispenses entirely with a conventional dial, revealing only two apertures: a jumping hour display at 12 o’clock and a minute display at 6 o’clock. This radical simplification of form not only highlights the ingenuity of its digital-style display but also underscores the enduring modernity of Cartier's vision.
