Cartier 17002 Tank Louis Cartier Jumbo Automatique 18K Yellow Gold

This Cartier Tank Louis Cartier Jumbo Automatique reference 17002 is a rare and historically significant variant from the 1970s, distinguished by its larger ‘Jumbo’ proportions and the only Tank Louis Cartier to feature an automatic movement. Its 18K yellow gold case measures approximately 28 mm by 35 mm with a modest thickness of around 8.5 mm, made possible by the distinctive bubble‑back case design that accommodates the self‑winding caliber 170 (ETA‑based), a technical departure from the typically ultra‑flat manual Tanks. The pristine white lacquer dial paired with blued‑steel sword hands and Roman numerals, underscores the Maison’s timeless elegance. Released in limited numbers, likely only a few hundred, this model is coveted by collectors for its rarity, the boutique‑exclusive Paris dial, and the blend of classic Tank aesthetics with modern mechanical convenience. The automatic caliber 170 delivers both historical interest and daily practicality, while the gold case and refined proportions ensure it remains a dress watch of enduring sophistication.
