Cartier Tank Americaine Reference 1736 1 in 18K WG Owned by Buffy Birrittella w/ Box & Letter of Provenance Unpolished

This Cartier Tank Americaine reference 1736 1 is a very important watch. It was given by Ralph Lauren to Senior Adviser and Senior Creative Director of Ralph Lauren Women’s Collections Buffy Birrittella for 25 years of employment. Ralph Lauren has been a prolific collector, with a penchant for beautiful vintage Cartier watches. To own a watch given by Ralph Lauren is quite the timepiece, but to have one specifically from Cartier - a brand that he loves - is very special.

The case is made of 18k white gold and features the engraving ‘Buffy Polo 25th Anniversary Love, Ralph April 10, 1996’. This font is incredibly beautiful and done by Cartier.

These Cartier Tank Americaine reference 1736s are quite uncommon in white gold and very elegant. This watch measures approximately 27mm in diameter by 45mm in length. The case appears to be unpolished.

It features an manual wind calibre 9P2 movement. The watch features the classic Cartier guilloche dial, painted Roman numerals, and a blue sapphire ‘cabochon’ with octagonal crown.

We do not have the full service history, but the watch is running well. The watch comes with a Cartier box. It does not come with papers. It does come with a letter of provenance from Buffy Birrittella.

PRICE: $39,000 (ITEM SBUXYT4677)
