Cartier Tank Louis 18k ‘Brazil’ - 88086 78086

On first glance this looks to be your standard 18k Cartier Tank Louis ref 78086. However, this tank is far more special. What we have here is a reference 88086 made exclusively for the Brazilian market. These tanks were assembled in the Zona Franca de Manaus, a tax-free zone located in the city of Manaus deep in the Amazon on the Rio Negro.

The watch features ZF-Manaus hallmarks on both the case back and solid 18k buckle. It’s preserved in outstanding original condition and features a coveted Paris dial. A rare opportunity to own a classic 18k Tank Louis that has that additional layer of intrigue we all covet.
