Our Perspective: Released in 1917, the Cartier Tank was inspired by the silhouette of WWI Renault tanks, translating rigid military form into one of the most elegant watch designs ever created. Its rectangular case, elongated brancards, and understated dial have made it a design icon for over a century. This reference W5200021 from the 2010s turns the classic Tank formula on its head by introducing python into the mix. A python snakeskin strap flows seamlessly into the matching printed dial, creating a striking, almost infinite visual effect. It’s ideal for anyone who finds the traditional silver-dial Tank a bit too restrained and wants something with more personality. It's a unique, fun and uncommon take on the classic Tank design. The large model wears comfortably and looks perfect on most wrist sizes. Condition Report: Case: Unpolished case, bezel and caseback show medium scratches and signs of wear throughout.
