FS: Cartier Rare 1940s Tank Duoplan | Bec D’Aigle Lugs | 18k Yellow Gold

But even amidst Cartier's storied repertoire, the Tank Duoplan stood apart. Its secret lay within: a Jaeger-LeCoultre built movement, a marvel of micro-mechanics that allowed the Duoplan to achieve its slender, sophisticated silhouette without compromising precision.

The Bec D’Aigle lugs elevated it further. These rare, angular lugs were both a functional flourish and a sculptural statement. They lent the watch a bold elegance, a balance between aggression and grace that mirrored the audacity of the era in which it was conceived.

The 1940s were a time of very low production for Cartier, scarcity becoming an unintentional hallmark of these wartime pieces. Few were made, and even fewer survived, making this Tank Duoplan an almost mythical rarity.

Showcased here in beautiful condition and in a modern 22 x 33mm size along with the original, numbered Cartier deployant.

For those who understand its significance, this is not a watch, this is immortality strapped to your wrist.

Only at the Cartierist.

Société Cartier (/ˈkɑːrti.eɪ/; French: [kaʁtje]) is a French luxury goods conglomerate company. The company designs, manufactures, distributes and sells jewellery and watches. Founded in Paris, France in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, the company remained under family control until 1964. The company maintains its headquarters in Paris and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Compagnie Financière Richemont SA.

Cartier is well known for its jewellery and wrist watches, including the "Bestiary" (best illustrated by the Panthère brooch of the 1940s created for Wallis Simpson), the diamond necklace created for Bhupinder Singh the Maharaja of Patiala and the "Santos" wristwatch of 1904.

Cartier has a long history of sales to royalty and celebrities. For example, Kate Middleton: the Duchess of Cambridge, has been seen wearing the Cartier Ballon Bleu timepiece. King Edward VII of England referred to Cartier as "the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers. "For his coronation in 1902, Edward VII ordered 27 tiaras and issued a royal warrant to Cartier in 1904. Similar warrants soon followed from the courts of Spain, Portugal, Russia, Siam, Greece, Serbia, Belgium, Romania, Egypt, Albania, Monaco, and the House of Orleans.
