Cartier W5200028 Tank Solo XL SS Silver Dial

The Cartier Tank Solo XL ref. W5200028, introduced circa 2012, is a refined expression of Cartier’s legendary Tank lineage, scaled for modern wrists. Its rectangular stainless steel case, measuring 31.0 x 40.85 mm with a slender 7.65 mm profile, presents a poised yet assertive presence. The silvered opaline dial, adorned with black Roman numerals and blued-steel sword hands, evokes the Maison’s timeless aesthetic, while the discreet date aperture at 6 o’clock adds practical elegance. Powered by the Cartier Calibre 049, an automatic movement based on the ETA 2892-A2, it delivers approximately 42 hours of power reserve and reliable precision. Water-resistant to 30 meters, it balances everyday resilience with dress watch refinement. The polished and brushed steel bracelet, integrated seamlessly into the case, reinforces the architectural harmony that defines the Tank. As an accessible entry into Cartier’s storied Tank family, the Solo XL occupies a unique niche—offering heritage, mechanical substance, and enduring design in one compelling package. Its blend of historical lineage and contemporary proportions ensures its appeal to both seasoned collectors and discerning newcomers. Excellent condition with Cartier box and papers dated 2018.
