The Tank is one of the few watches whose value rests as much on its design as on its movement. Between a quartz Tank Must and a hand-wound gold Tank Louis Cartier, the buy-back price can differ fourfold.
The versions and what they fetch
- Tank Louis Cartier: the most sought-after, in gold with a mechanical movement;
- Tank Américaine: elongated case, strong demand in gold;
- Tank Française: steel or gold, integrated bracelet;
- Tank Solo and Tank Must: entry-level, more modest values;
- Vintage Tank and limited editions: a collector's market.
What weighs on the offer
- Case material: solid gold, plated or steel;
- Movement: hand-wound, automatic or quartz;
- Condition of the dial, sapphire crystal and Roman numerals;
- Original Cartier strap or a replacement;
- Box, certificate and warranty booklet.
