Cartier Collection Privee Tank Americaine Mecanique CPCP Platinum LIMITED

The Cartier Tank Americaine Collection Privee Cartier Paris CPCP reference 1734B stands as one of the most distinguished creations in the Tank lineage, released in 2000 as a highly exclusive edition of only 50 individually numbered pieces. This model is crafted in platinum, its elegant rectangular case complemented by a silver guilloche dial adorned with bold black Roman numerals and classic blued steel hands. The watch is powered by the prestigious manual wind Cartier caliber 430 MC, a movement celebrated for its svelte profile and Swiss pedigree, which is seldom found outside CPCP releases. The crown is set with Cartier’s signature sapphire cabochon, and the solid platinum case back exudes both strength and discretion. Measuring 26.5mm by 45mm with a refined thickness of 7.5mm, the case is paired with an 18k white gold deployant buckle, underscoring Cartier’s meticulous attention to luxurious details. Included are both the original Collection Privee box and official papers, adding significant value for collectors. Its rarity, historical context within the short-lived CPCP range, and platinum execution mark it as a serious prize among connoisseurs. These factors, combined with a documented Cartier service in the third quarter of 2025, ensure the watch’s pristine condition and lasting value for the discerning collector.
