Introduced in 1996, Cartier Tank Francaise has been around for as long back as our memory goes as a leading model in the brand's catalogue. Cartier designed it to be a contemporary version of the original Tank, and it's worth noting how by means of minor, subtle nuances that intent was effortlessly materialised. While Francaise retained many of the details that made Tank stand out, for instance, the track-like minute chapter ring and the elongated case sides, it also had new elements that made it a hit in its own right. It came with a squarer case as opposed to a rectangular through and through and an integrated metal bracelet.

Reference W51005Q4 is a handsome men's watch outfitted with a 28mm stainless steel case that features a clean satin finish on the bezel and a polished surface on the contours. It's a slim timepiece that elevates the charm of the wrist in the most elegant fashion. The dial, silver in colour, is teeming with beauty through an intricate guilloche pattern, Roman numeral hour markers, and signature blue hands.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
