Footnotes:
The current lot was inspired by the 'Tank à Guichets' - the very contemporary and unusual first Jump hour model produced by Cartier in 1928. The original version was an exceedingly rare watch at the time and was often seen on the wrist of Duke Ellington. Nowadays it is rarely seen outside of a museum.

The present model was part of the Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP) of 2006. The Collection Privée marks a transitional period in Cartier's watchmaking history. After several years of focusing mainly on lady's quartz watches, Cartier delved into their archives and brought back historic designs that hadn't been in production for many years. The focus of the Collection Privée was on high quality design, movements and craftsmanship. The Collection Privée was offered for ten years, from 1998 to 2008. This particular model was produced in a limited number of just 100 pieces.
