Description: One Cartier Tank Francaise stainless steel watch large model reference 2302. This is the automatic large men's version, not the ladies or quartz models. This timepiece was manufactured about 1997 and bought shortly after. The was just serviced at Cartier and keeps good time. The watch has a white/silver dial with guilloche. It has Roman numerals and a small date window with quickset feature at 6 o'clock. The dial is in good condition with minor wear present. The sapphire crystal looks unmarked. The crown is firm and winds beautifully. The clasp on the bracelet feels nice and tight when opening and closing it, as it should. The rear of the case details the model, reference number and serial. It has normal wear from use, as does the watch bracelet. There are small scuffs and scratches on the case and band, like near cabochon on the side, for example. They are not easy to see but are present and could no doubt be polished out, but Cartier said it did not need it. As to the additional contents of the sale, the outer white box has noticeable wear, has tape and some staining inside and outside. The red leather box in good condition with minor wear, though the watch support holder has some age wear and cracking (it works just fine and is cosmetic). From 2005 to 2014 it was not really used. In 2014 it was serviced at an authorised dealer and again in March 2024 at Cartier's 5th Ave mansion in NYC (dropped off in December and completed in April). The cabochon was replaced in 2014 and the blued hands in 2024, as that was Cartier's recommendation. To my knowledge, all other parts are original, except worn parts that are normally replaced in service. Sale includes outer box, leather box, small leather booklet with paper manual and dealer booklet, suede pouch, large envelope sleeve (service receipts shown here in envelope sleeve are not included due to personal data). This si a truly gorgeous timepiece and far better looking that Cartier's updated tank, imo. This is for sale elsewhere. First come first serve. You do not find watches in this condition with documented history every day. Approximate measurements are in the pictures. Note that serial number on rear of watch as well as identifying information on receipts purposely obscured, but is correct. Does not include extra links or original warranty booklet. Please see pictures and video as they are part of the description. Shipping covers packaging, signature, insurance and delivery to authenticator. Please note that due to its high value, both UPS and USPS charge extra for insurance and that is the price. For shipping outside the US, please contact prior to bidding. If eligible, this will participate in authenticity programme (ebay's authenticator verifies watch before shipping to you. They verify its authenticity, working and cosmetic condition). Although the item is in good condition, it is not brand new, and as such, you should expect normal wear & tear, minor blemishes & small imperfections such as minor dents, scuffs or paint loss etc. I cannot list them all, but remarked the ones that stand out. and ask you to please look at all images closely. Sold as is with no return to US states only. Ships USPS/UPS with tracking and insurance (or equivalent) to official address only. Packages must be signed for. I am not responsible for items damaged, lost or stolen in post office care but will assist in any way possible. The package will be insured in that event so you will need to file a claim should that occur, which you agree to do if you purchase this item. Please do not go by ebay's prefilled data on watch details, as it is not always accurate. Specifications are available online on movement etc.
