Vintage Cartier Tank Vermeil SM Lapis Blue Lacquer dial Manual Wind 20,5mm - 1985

The Cartier Tank Vermeil SM offered here was produced in 1985 and features a beautiful blue lacquer dial, often referred to as a lapis dial, although not made from lapis lazuli stone. It has golden hands and matching golden text, paired with the iconic blue ruby cabochon crown. The silver case with gold plating remains fully intact throughout with no silver showing through anywhere. Inside sits a manual wind movement, which was fully serviced in May 2026 and now runs and functions excellently. We have paired the watch with a black leather strap with a light glossy finish and crocodile motif, made in France. Overall condition of this piece is just magnificent.
