Cartier Tank PM Lapis spider dial

Must de Cartier Tank PM – Blue Lacquer “Lapis” Dial – HandWound – 21 × 28mm

A particularly attractive Must de Cartier Tank Petit Modèle, featuring the highly desirable deep blue lacquer dial, often referred to by collectors as the “lapis” dial. The rich blue surface gives this Tank a completely different character from the traditional Roman numeral versions, making it one of the more distinctive configurations within the vintage Must de Cartier collection.

Measuring 21 × 28mm, the Petit Modèle retains the elegant and traditional proportions of the Tank while remaining extremely wearable. The dial is deliberately minimalist, displaying only the Cartier signature, the double-C motif and slim gold-tone hands, allowing the striking blue lacquer finish to remain the focal point.

This example is powered by a hand-wound mechanical movement, adding another layer of charm for collectors who prefer the traditional mechanical versions of the Must de Cartier Tank.

The vermeil case is completed by the signature blue cabochon crown and is paired with a blue leather strap, creating a beautifully coherent monochromatic appearance.
