History and Significance
The Tank Must de Cartier ref. 590005 follows the familiar proportions of the classic Tank Louis at 23 by 30 mm but uses the Must de Cartier construction of a sterling silver case plated in 18k yellow gold. The dial has an ivory cream tone that pairs well with the warmth of the gold plated case, a layout that became one of the most recognizable variations within the Must line during the 1980s and 1990s.
This style represents the most traditional and widely appreciated version of the Must series, offering a classic ivory Roman dial executed in an understated and balanced format.
