Cartier Tank Quartz Moonphase 8190 - 18K Yellow Gold

The Tank, With A View Of The Moon The Cartier Tank is one of the few truly perfect designs in watchmaking. Its form is so complete that it rarely requires, or accepts, additional complexity. This makes the Tank Moonphase a significant exception. By integrating a poetic complication into the clean geometry of the classic case, Cartier created a watch that respects the original design while adding a layer of visual interest. Executed in solid 18K yellow gold, this reference elevates the familiar shape into something far more uncommon. An Elegant And Uncommon Configuration This watch represents a step up from the standard Tank. The combination of a solid gold case and a moonphase display moves it into a different class. While many Tanks from this era were gold-plated silver, this example is crafted from solid 18K gold, giving it a satisfying weight and presence. The quartz movement provides grab-and-go convenience, but the complication and precious metal case ensure it never feels anything less than a piece of fine jewelry. It is a thoughtful blend of practicality and classic luxury. Well-Kept And Entirely Original The watch is in very good overall condition. The 18K yellow gold case is unpolished and well-preserved, and the cream Roman numeral dial and crystal are clean. It comes with its original Cartier leather strap and gold buckle. This is a strong, honest example of a rare reference from the 1990s. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear. For The Person Who Wants More This watch is for someone who appreciates the timeless appeal of the Tank but wants a version with more substance and character. The moonphase complication adds a touch of romance to an otherwise austere design, delivering the quintessential Cartier look with an added layer of distinction.
