Cartier Tank GM “New York” with clasp

An elegant and highly collectible Cartier Tank “NYC”, dating to approximately the late 1960s to early 1970s. This example embodies the timeless design language that has made the Tank one of the most iconic dress watches ever produced.

The watch features a classic rectangular case in yellow gold, paired with the original Cartier deployant clasp—an increasingly rare and desirable detail for collectors. The case retains strong lines and proportions, with light signs of honest wear consistent with age.

Its standout feature is the sought-after “Paris” signed dial, distinguished by Roman numerals, chemin de fer minute track, and blued steel hands. The dial displays a warm, vintage character, complementing the overall aesthetic beautifully.

The caseback is engraved “H. Bruce Butterworth,” adding a touch of personal history and charm. Inside, the watch is powered by a manual-wind movement, as expected for the period.

Fitted on a leather strap, the watch wears elegantly and remains true to the understated sophistication Cartier is known for.
