Cartier Tank Louis "Paris" 18K Yellow Gold, Ref. 78086 GM LM (Big Size), 1970s

Presenting an exceptional Cartier Tank Louis "Paris" from the 1970s, Ref. 78086 in the desirable GM/LM large size. A beautifully preserved example of Cartier’s most iconic silhouette, this piece features the coveted “Paris” dial along with rare configuration details that elevate it into true collector territory.

Key Features & Highlights

Dial

  • Spotless original Paris-signed dial in like-new condition

  • Iconic glossy Cartier lacquer finish, perfectly preserved

  • Hidden "Cartier" signature at 7 o’clock

  • Rare configuration featuring golden hands, highly sought after among collectors

Case

  • Solid 18k yellow gold, GM/LM big size

  • Beautifully maintained with crisp lines and strong geometry

  • Sapphire cabochon crown set with a richly blue sapphire

Movement

  • Manual-winding Cartier Calibre 78x, the earlier and more desirable version preceding the 78-1

  • Just professionally serviced and running excellently

Strap & Buckle

  • Original Cartier leather strap, lightly worn

  • Paired with original Cartier vermeil pin buckle

Why This Example Stands Out

This reference 78086 embodies everything collectors love about vintage Cartier: purity of design, exceptional proportions, and the unmistakable charm of the Maison’s earlier Paris-production era. The flawless Paris‑signed dial, golden hands, and early‑generation calibre 78x movement make this a particularly scarce and appealing piece.

Its condition—both mechanically and cosmetically—makes it suitable not only for collecting but also for refined daily wear.

A Collector’s Opportunity

Comfortable Shoes Right Out of the Box
Size: 9, Color: Black
I bought these shoes for my husband. He has a very hard time finding quality, comfortable shoes. These shoes are just as comfortable as his New Balance. He uses them as a dress shoe and wears them at least once a week. There was no break in period necessary. They were comfortable right out of the box! The only thing we didn't like was the white sole color. Once I knew he was going to keep them, I used a black sharpie marker to color the soles black. Instant amazing, comfortable dress shoes. They were well worth the cost. If you or your SO needs a comfortable pair of shoes, we highly recommend them.

Decent Shoes with Misleading Description (Not Leather)
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black, Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black
I only look for leather when I’m purchasing dress shoes. Under the description “details” on this item it lists the shoe as leather upper and inner lining. A photo shows “genuine Napa leather lining”. If you keep reading (which I have now that I’ve received the shoes) it shows “faux leather” in the small print and that is not “leather”. I run a small leather business and this irks me because it’s clearly false advertising. The details also show the product is made in Brazil but when they arrived today, the shoe tag shows “Made in China” and “Man Made upper and lower”. I don’t hate the shoes. They look nice. What I know is they won’t hold up over time like leather, which is why the description should be accurate and not misleading.
