Our Perspective:

The Cartier Tank Louis Platinum ref. 1601 1  is a rare timepiece that embodies the sophistication of Cartier’s design. Crafted in platinum and produced in very limited numbers before the launch of the CPCP (Collection Privée Cartier Paris) line, this watch stands out for its refined minimalism and discreet luxury.
With its classic Tank proportions and understated precious metal case, the 1601 offers a subtle yet distinct presence on the wrist. Its vintage charm is enhanced by the dial and clean lines, making it a perfect choice for collectors who appreciate rarity and heritage over ostentation.  This reference is seldom seen on the market and represents a special chapter in Cartier's history, appealing to those who value both design purity and exclusivity. A true if you know, you know watch in a condition that's rarely seen. 

Condition Report:

Very Good overall condition. Watch appears to be unpolished. Recently received a full Cartier factory overhaul/movement service. Light scratches and indentations throughout case. Hallmarks are sharp and deep. Watch is on it's original 18K white gold deployant buckle and a blue Cartier lizard strap. Dial, hands and crystal show minimal signs of age. 

Condition Grade: 9/10
