Can anyone tell me more about this model? Guys, I saw in one of the fashion magazines a picture of a Cartier Tank that I have never seen before. If it's fake, then please delete my post. It's a reversible, with (I guess) Paris on the dial, like the Privée collection and arabics??? The word paris is at a different place. Does anyone know what this is exactly and when it was on the market? Sorry that the scan I made is very grainy. I am just curious, thanks, Pedro basculante.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('cb3d0a998e9ee7818de38c0188f863fa', 'http://revo-online.com/forums/main/addon.php?33,module=embed_images,url=http%3A%2F%2Fi1106.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fh364%2Fpedro9930%2Fbasculante.jpg', 'http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h364/pedro9930/basculante.jpg', 'http://revo-online.com/forums/main/addon.php?33,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=http%3A%2F%2Fi1106.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fh364%2Fpedro9930%2Fbasculante.jpg', '', 1005294, 1300, 3000, 'Loading image ...', false); http://revo-online.com/forums/main/read.php?33,1005294,1005294#msg-1005294 Wed, 22 May 2013 14:25:56 -0500 Phorum 5.2.13 http://revo-online.com/forums/main/read.php?33,1005294,1005339#msg-1005339 Re.: Can anyone tell me more about this model? http://revo-online.com/forums/main/read.php?33,1005294,1005339#msg-1005339 Sorry it took me a bit to find you an answer but I am afraid that I do not know what you really wanted to know.

There were a couple of different Tank Basculante models during the 150th. anniversary in 1997/1998.
The one in your post is absolute no fake watch and is definitely a model created for the 150th. anniversary,
but I honestly do not know how many were produced and I have even never seen this model.

These Arabics on the dial are really nice and só different for a Tank Basculante.
The ones that I know and have seen are:

a 150th. version in yellow gold version / closed back 150 pieces / Paris above 6
a 150th. version in yellow gold version / closed back with round full cut diamonds 150 pieces / Paris above 6
a 150th. version in yellow gold version / transparent case back 15 pieces / Paris above 6
a 150th. version in yellow gold version / transparent case back / skeleton movement 15 pieces

All have the 150th anniversary motif and a caliber 061MC by Frédéric Piguet.

About a year later there was an unlimited CPCP version with Paris underneath Cartier (so not above 6)
with the same mechanical movement and a transparent case back a blue sapphire and no red rubi,
like the one in your picture.
So sorry I do not have an exact answer to your question, if i find out more, I will post it.

It must be real otherwise my post would have been deleted I think. Ha, ha!

Geo did an excellent history presentation of the Tank a few weeks ago. Called "CARTIERS's TANK; born from war, built for peace"

Here's the link:

It was sort of Cartier's versio of the JLC Reverso. If you scroll down from the beginning of the article quite a way, you will find it with photos.

Cheers,
