Cartier Tank Asymétrique

About this reference

The Cartier Tank Asymétrique reference WGTA0044 was released in 2020 as part of the Cartier Privé collection. This model features a 950 platinum case measuring 47.15mm by 26.2mm, characterized by its 30-degree offset dial designed for legibility while driving. Collectors value this reference for its mechanical manual-winding caliber 1917 MC and its adherence to the original 1936 design. The silvered dial includes a sunray finish, blue steel hands, and a ruby cabochon set into the crown, a signature of Cartier’s platinum pieces. Production was limited to 100 individually numbered units, contributing to its scarcity. On the secondary market, this reference typically commands prices between $35,000 and $45,000 depending on condition and provenance. While the WGTA0044 features a solid dial, it was launched alongside a skeletonized platinum variant, the WHP00009, which utilized the 9623 MC movement.
