Cartier Mini Tank Pavé

Notes

Our vintage and extremely rare manually wound Cartier Paris Mini Tank Pavé features an 18ct yellow gold case of 15.8mm (exc crown) x 20.5mm and an integrated bracelet in 18ct yellow gold. The dial is signed Cartier Paris with Roman Numerals, and the case has two rows of factory diamonds on all sides, which continue into the tear drop style bracelet. The crown is also diamond set. We have handled and found similar Mini Tanks but not any identical watches to this extremely attractive configuration, making it possibly unique or certainly of very limited production. Presented in outstanding condition and possibly the best Mini Tank available for sale, this example is also distinguished as it is fresh from a recent (December 2025) service via a renowned Cartier authorised dealer: an accompanying guarantee card from the Cartier dealer attests it has benefited from a brand manufacturer service and has two years warranty from the date of delivery. We date original manufacture to c.1985, the manually wound Mini Tank's production being far outnumbered by those with a. quartz movement. The original box and papers are not present but included is its service card, dealer business card as well as modern Cartier box. This is a rare opportunity to acquire what would make a superb addition to any serious Cartier or jewellery collection. As photographed this cartier will fit a wrist up to c.150mm, there are two additional links which, fitted, would take the total wrist size to c.160mm.
