The elegant “Tank Asymètrique” model was launched in 1996 in a limited edition of 300 examples in yellow gold and 100 in platinum. It is a re-adaptation of Cartier’s 1936 “Parallelogram” model. The tilted case shape, combined with pronounced Arabic numerals, was chosen to facilitate the reading of time while driving.
