A particularly attractive Cartier Must de Tank XL Ref. 2413, combining the timeless rectangular design introduced by Louis Cartier in 1917 with the larger proportions and practical functionality of the later Must collection. This example is especially desirable as it retains its original Cartier leather strap together with the original Cartier deployant folding clasp, details that are increasingly difficult to find together on vintage Must models.

The generously proportioned 25 × 33.5 mm case is crafted from sterling silver 925 and finished with a 20-micron yellow gold plating, known as vermeil. Its elegant stepped construction and clean rectangular lines preserve the unmistakable Tank silhouette, while the larger dimensions give it a more substantial presence on the wrist.

The original Cartier dial features classic black Roman numerals, a traditional chemin de fer minute track and beautifully blued steel sword hands. A practical date aperture at 3 o'clock and central seconds hand add functionality without disturbing the balanced design. The signature blue cabochon crown provides the familiar Cartier finishing touch.

Inside beats the reliable Cartier Calibre 687 quartz movement, offering precise and convenient timekeeping together with hours, minutes, seconds and date functions.

The watch retains its original Cartier leather strap and, importantly, its original Cartier gold-plated deployant folding clasp. This combination gives the watch a particularly authentic appearance and preserves the original design as intended by Cartier.

The watch has been carefully inspected and serviced by our watchmaker and comes with a 1-year mechanical warranty.
