Very Good Condition
This vintage Cartier Tank Française 20mm watch in stainless steel and yellow gold is in very good condition with light traces of use and scratches on the case and bracelet. It features a Roman numeral dial, blue steel sword-shaped hands, a sapphire cabochon crown and a two-tone bracelet. Ideal for everyday elegance, from the office to dinner engagements.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What size is this Cartier Tank Française watch? A: This watch has a 20 mm case, giving it a refined, compact look on the wrist. It currently fits a 15 cm wrist or smaller, so it is best suited to someone who prefers a neat, close fit.
Q: Is reference 2384 a quartz or mechanical watch? A: Reference 2384 is generally associated with a quartz movement, so it is battery-powered rather than manual-wind or automatic. Quartz Tank Française models are appreciated for their slim profile, ease of use and dependable daily wear.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized? A: The bracelet is link-based and can usually be adjusted by a watchmaker. This particular watch is currently sized for a 15 cm wrist or smaller. If you need a larger fit, please check whether extra links are available before purchase, as none are included in the product information.
Q: Is the 20 mm size too small for everyday wear? A: Not at all. The small Tank Française is designed to wear like a classic jewellery watch, with an elegant and understated presence. Many collectors choose this size specifically for its timeless, vintage-leaning proportions and comfortable fit.
Q: Is this watch suitable for daily use? A: Yes, the Tank Française is one of Cartier's most versatile designs and works well with both casual and smart outfits. This example is in very good condition with light traces of use, including scratches on the case and bracelet, which adds to its vintage character.
Q: Can I wear this watch in water? A: We recommend treating a vintage or pre-owned dress watch like this as splash-resistant only unless it has very recently passed a professional pressure test. It is best to avoid swimming, showering and prolonged exposure to water in order to protect the movement and seals.
Q: What design details define this model? A: This watch features classic Cartier signatures including a Roman numeral dial, blued steel sword-shaped hands, a sapphire cabochon crown and a two-tone stainless steel and yellow gold bracelet. Together, these details create the polished and recognisable Tank Française look.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: This piece comes with no original box, papers or additional product information. Please rely on the listing details and images for what is included with this specific watch.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Cartier watch? A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth, store it away from moisture and strong magnetic fields, and have the battery or movement checked by a Cartier-authorised or otherwise qualified watchmaker when needed. If you notice condensation under the crystal or changes in timekeeping, stop wearing it and arrange a service.
Q: How do you authenticate this watch? A: At A Retro Tale, every luxury watch is checked by in-house experts before sale. This includes reviewing the overall construction, materials, dial details, reference and serial markings, and other model-specific characteristics to ensure authenticity.
