Cartier Faberge GM 18k Gold

Rolex produces over 1,000,000 watches annually. Cartier and Omega each produce around 500,000 annually.

In the 1970s before the launch of Les Must de Cartier, an affordable vermeil-plated Tank, Cartier was producing several hundred per year, many of which were the iconic Tank Louis.

Examples from this era, such as the Fabergé, were produced in far fewer numbers and remain much more unique. Powered by the reliable Cartier Calibre 78-1, this18k pieces was launched as part of the original Louis Cartier Collection in 1973.
