Cartier Must De Tank 725 USA
An intriguing vintage Must de Cartier Tank featuring a striking black dial, gold-tone hands and Cartier’s timeless rectangular design.
What makes this example particularly fascinating to collectors is its unusual case back, bearing the markings 725, AMERICAN, ARGENT TYPE US, PLAQUE OR G 10M, USA, alongside a triangular maker’s mark containing AB.
An intriguing Cartier mystery
Unlike the more commonly encountered 925-marked examples, this Tank bears the unusual 725 hallmark. Research published by vintage watch enthusiasts has documented other examples with the same distinctive markings and closely related serial numbers, suggesting a recurring production variant rather than an isolated anomaly.
The investigation has even reached Cartier itself. According to the posts, Cartier was contacted, yet the precise meaning and origin of the 725 marking remain unexplained. Its significance continues to be an open question, making this an especially compelling piece for collectors interested in Cartier’s lesser-known history.
A distinctive vintage Tank combining iconic design, unusual American case markings and an ongoing horological mystery.
The exact production year and meaning of the 725 hallmark remain unconfirmed. Please refer to the photographs for condition and details.
