Footnote
The Les Must de Cartier Tank with entwined double C logo on a burgundy dial has become one of the most classic examples of the Les Must de Cartier range. Launched in 1973 the gilt silver range was created to appeal to a larger clientele at a lower price point. A similar example dated to 1977 is illustrated in Chaille, François and Cologni, Franco, The Cartier Collection; Timepieces, Flammarion, 2006, page 473.
