Alexis Barthelay Tank Petit Model – 18K Gold with Sapphire Crown

This elegant Alexis Barthelay Tank Petit Model is a beautifully executed interpretation of the iconic Tank design, crafted in solid 18K yellow gold and distinguished by refined details throughout. With its balanced proportions and architectural case shape, this piece reflects Barthelay’s mastery of classic form and high-quality finishing.

The rectangular case measures approximately 20 × 26 mm, offering graceful petite dimensions that sit comfortably and elegantly on the wrist. The dial features classic Roman numerals and a clean, balanced layout, reinforcing the timeless appeal of the Tank silhouette.

A particularly charming detail is the sapphire cabochon crown, a feature closely associated with high-end Parisian watchmaking and a subtle nod to Cartier’s design language. The case also displays clearly visible hallmarks, confirming the quality of the gold and underscoring its period craftsmanship.

Alexis Barthelay was known for producing refined cases and watches for prestigious maisons, and this model stands as a testament to that legacy. Preserved in very nice vintage condition, this watch has been carefully inspected and authenticated, retaining its original character and integrity. It is offered as a genuine vintage Barthelay timepiece, curated by Gallery Suez, a trusted vintage watch boutique based in Antwerp, Belgium.
