This is N°0001 reference 1601 produced for the CPCP line, papers dating to 24/12/2004. You are confused? So was I. You can trust your eyes: It is a swiss only dial. So why does it not carry a CPCP dial? I reached out to the previous and first owner, a known restauranteur in Germany and asked, if this watch ever has been like that and how he was able to buy the first piece of the line (btw people say that less than 150 of the 1601 CPCP have been produced and even lesser have been sold). He stated that the dial has been like that ever since and he got it for a round wedding anniversary for his wife, but only because he was a top client of Cartier for many years. And thats the story of N°0001 - The first ever produced 1601 Tank Platinum.
REFERENCE
1601
Condition
The watch is in superbe condition and is unpolished, you could probably say it's in mint condition. Why is this? The watch spent most of the time in the vault . The caseback and engravings are untouched, the brushing is and feels factory. The sides are untouched, the screwheads perfect. The dial is perfect, often the guilloched dials collect lots of dirt and dust and turn brown over time. The hands are also perfect, and so is the crystal. The deployant also is perfect preserved, no hits, no scratches, closes tight and opens easy. You will get the watch serviced with the box, papers and outer box.
