The Cartier Tank Ref. 78227 is an exclusive and rare example from 1981, crafted in 18K yellow gold. This model represents one of the most refined interpretations of Cartier’s classic Tank design, where proportions, choice of materials, and decorative elements combine to form a composition of exceptional quality.

The case is elegantly set with brilliant-cut diamonds along the sides, lending the watch a distinctive and sophisticated appearance. The dial features a rare pavé setting, fully covered in diamonds, creating a vivid play of light and enhancing the ornamental character of the piece. The crown is adorned with a diamond, replacing the traditional blue sapphire, further underscoring the model’s exclusivity.

The watch is fitted with its original 18K gold “Beads-of-Rice” bracelet – an uncommon and highly sought-after component. Accompanying the watch is its original certificate from 1981, confirming authenticity and provenance.
