Cartier WGTA0042 Tank Asymetrique Platinum Silver Dial

The Cartier WGTA0042 Tank Asymetrique in platinum is a striking revival of Cartier’s iconic 1936 parallelogram-shaped design, reintroduced in 2020 as part of the exclusive Privé Collection and limited to just 100 pieces. Its 47.15 mm by 26.10 mm platinum case, measuring a slender 6.38 mm thick, houses the in‑house manual‑winding calibre 1917 MC with a 38‑hour power reserve, marrying technical refinement with architectural elegance. The silver sunburst dial, adorned with rotated Arabic numerals and black baton hands, offers both clarity and visual intrigue, while the signature ruby‑set cabochon crown adds a discreet flourish of luxury. This asymmetrical form not only pays homage to Cartier’s avant‑garde heritage but also enhances legibility when the wrist is raised, a thoughtful nod to its original design intent. The combination of its limited‑edition status, historical lineage, and Cartier’s modern manufacture movement makes this piece highly coveted among connoisseurs. It stands as a refined statement of design audacity and horological craftsmanship, ideal for collectors who value both provenance and subtle innovation. Like New with Cartier box and undated papers.
