Things you should know

This Cartier Tank Louis Quartz Ref. 88105 is an exquisite example of the model, with a case that maintains its sharp, defined lines and shows only minimal signs of wear—likely in its unpolished, original condition. The brushed finish on the caseback is remarkably well-preserved, with engravings that remain clear and legible, underscoring the care this watch has received.

The dial and hands are in outstanding condition, with no oxidation to mar their elegant design. The iconic blued hands create a striking contrast against the clean white dial and deep black numerals, capturing the timeless allure of Cartier’s classic aesthetic.

Though the strap is a replacement, it is in pristine, new condition and complements the gold case beautifully with its dark tone. The buckle is an original gold-plated one.

Adding to its collector value, the watch is offered as a complete set, including the original outer and inner boxes, papers, booklets, and even the original purchase receipt. The receipt features the name of the shop that matches the warranty booklets precisely, a rare and desirable detail that enhances the watch's provenance. Cartier’s signature is present on the case, dial, and movement, ensuring authenticity and cohesive design integrity.

The crystal remains virtually free of any scratches, allowing an unblemished view of the dial.
