Cartier Must de Tank 81006 Vermeil Roman, 1990s - A Design Legacy in Gold Vermeil.

Born from Louis Cartier’s vision in 1917, the Tank is Cartier’s most enduring icon. Inspired by the lines of the WWI Renault tank, it combines both strength and elegance in a rectangular silhouette that has become a hallmark of timeless design.

This reference 81006, from the Must de Cartier line, captures that legacy with vintage charm. Its 925 sterling silver case, plated in yellow gold (vermeil), houses a two-tone champagne dial with elegant Roman numerals and blued sword hands — a combination that evokes classic Parisian sophistication. The red Cartier leather strap adds a bold yet refined finishing touch.
