Cartier Tank Française Chronoflex

About this reference

The Cartier Tank Française Chronoflex reference 2302 was produced from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s and is currently discontinued. Collectors target this reference for its integrated stainless steel bracelet and the caliber 212P, a high-end "mecha-quartz" movement developed by Piaget. This movement features a mechanical chronograph module that provides a crisp pusher feel and a sweeping seconds hand, distinguishing it from standard quartz engines. The dial is characterized by three sub-dials and a date function indicated by a central hand pointing to the outer perimeter. On the secondary market, these watches typically trade between $3,000 and $5,000 depending on condition and the inclusion of original paperwork. A notable production detail is the "hidden" Cartier signature integrated into the Roman numeral at seven or ten o'clock, a standard security feature for authenticating these neo-vintage pieces.
