Cartier Tank Basculante WA202251 White Roman Dial

The Cartier Tank Basculante is one of the Maison’s most distinctive and historically important creations, celebrated for its ingenious reversible case design and unmistakable Art Deco proportions. Originally introduced in the 1930s, the Basculante was designed to protect the dial by swiveling the case inward, making it both a functional innovation and a design icon within the broader Tank family.

This example, reference WA202251, is crafted in luxurious 18k yellow gold and features an elegant 23mm x 37mm case size that wears with classic Cartier refinement. The highlight is its diamond-set bezel, which adds a brilliant, elevated presence while preserving the clean, architectural lines that define the Tank Basculante silhouette.

The watch features a timeless white Roman numeral dial, complemented by Cartier’s signature design language and protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Paired with a sophisticated black crocodile leather strap, this configuration delivers a sharp contrast that emphasizes the warmth of the yellow gold case and the sparkle of the diamonds.

Inside, the watch is powered by a reliable quartz movement, chosen for its precision and effortless daily wear. Condition is listed as Excellent, and the watch is backed by our extended 3-year CHRONONATION warranty, providing added confidence and long-term protection with your purchase.
