Cartier Tank Louis Dual-Time CPCP

About this reference

The Cartier Tank Louis Dual-Time reference 2916 was produced between 2005 and 2006 as part of the Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP). This reference is distinguished by its 18k pink gold case measuring 30mm by 39mm and its use of two independent mechanical movements, Caliber 055, rather than a single movement with a complication. The dial features traditional CPCP hallmarks, including a central guilloché rose motif, Roman numerals, and two separate time displays. Collectors value this reference for its limited production window and its mechanical layout, which requires two separate crowns located on the right side of the case. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $35,000 and $50,000 depending on condition and the presence of original accessories. A notable production detail is that while most CPCP models utilize Piaget-based movements, the 2916 relies on two ultra-thin manual-wind calibers to maintain its slim profile.
