Cartier Tank Must Phase de Lune (Moonphase Date) Quartz
One of the earliest iterations of a moonphase and date on a tank, this particular example is a rare edition of a complication quartz model that Cartier produced in the 1990s. The added moonphase and date creates alot of depth to the dial without over-complicating the aesthetics of a classic Tank watch.

Our Thoughts:
Perhaps on of the earliest iterations of the tank with a moonphase and date, this particular watch is extremely rare on the market and was a bit of a pilot design for future models to come, with a similar designed dial appearing on other models such as the Santos.
The subtle hand with the moonphase shape tip indicates the date of the month is elegantly executed and the watch although is a quartz, it offers quite a high level of functionality and is a elegant choice for those who are looking for something daintier with a touch of rarity.
