Lot Essay
While reversible case wristwatches have largely been associated with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso model, Cartier has also produced watches with reversible cases, the Basculante being the most prominent of them. However, in the 1960s, Cartier Paris produced the iconic Tank model with a reversible case too. The watch combined the Tank’s distinct design with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso’s inventive case design.
The present timepiece with a Cartier Paris dial and French gold hallmark on the case is a rare example of the Tank with the reversible case that turns on the vertical plane unlike the Basculante.
