This piece belongs to the prestigious Cartier Privé collection, which was launched in 1998 to showcase the maison's rich heritage and horological expertise.

The Tank Obus Mecanique, with its reference number W1516956, is a prime example of the Cartier Prive collection's allure. It features a classic case, crafted from yellow golden and its distinctive shape, inspired by the French military tank, has been a signature of Cartier's watch designs for decades.

While the more recent CPCP watches often incorporate a rose motif, the early iterations, including the Obus, did not feature this embellishment.

The Tank Obus Mecanique is not only a beautiful watch but also a mechanical masterpiece. The intricate details of the movement, visible through the case back, highlight the craftsmanship and technical expertise that go into creating a Cartier Prive timepiece.
