The Tank Américaine is Cartier’s golden stretch of elegance—sleek, sculptural, and unmistakably Parisian. Evolving from the maison’s iconic 1917 Tank, the Américaine transforms that original geometry into something curvier and more sensual, a harmony of bold lines and refined proportions.
This Ref. 2489 is rendered entirely in solid 18K yellow gold (marked 750), its elongated case tapering softly to embrace the wrist. The integrated gold bracelet moves with a liquid precision, each link engineered for comfort and effortless drape.
A brilliant-cut diamond sits within the crown, Cartier’s most understated yet luxurious signature. Beneath the dial, the Cartier Calibre 157 Swiss quartz movement ensures accuracy and ease, pairing the elegance of form with the reliability of everyday wear.
The caseback is engraved Cartier / Water Resistant / 750 / Swiss Made / Ref. 2489 / 132427MX, with hallmarks and serials crisp and intact.
This is Cartier distilled to its essence—pure gold, perfect proportion, and just enough shimmer to make every moment feel like luxury.
