Must de Cartier Lemon dial GM hand wound

Must de Cartier Tank GM – Hand-Wound – Rare Lemon Dial – Vermeil – 23 × 30mm

A beautiful and increasingly difficult to find Must de Cartier Tank Grand Modèle, fitted with the highly desirable lemon dial. Unlike the more common ivory or white dials, the warm creamy-yellow tone gives this watch a distinctive vintage character while perfectly complementing the gold vermeil case.

This Grand Modèle (23 × 30mm) offers the ideal proportions for both men and women, remaining true to Louis Cartier’s timeless Tank design while providing a slightly larger wrist presence than the Petit Modèle.

Powering the watch is the original hand-wound mechanical movement, making this an especially sought-after configuration among collectors. The watch retains its classic blue sapphire cabochon crown, blued steel hands, and elegant minimalist dial with the iconic Cartier double-C logo.
