The Cartier Tank Asymétrique Large ref. WHTA0028 is a striking reinvention of the Tank family, distinguished by its 47.2 × 26.2 mm rose gold case rotated 30° to create an asymmetric profile. The openworked skeleton dial showcases Cartier’s engraved bridge architecture, with Arabic numerals integrated into the skeleton structure at 12 and 6 o’clock, all complemented by blued-steel sword hands and a cabochon-capped gold crown. Despite its avant-garde layout, the watch retains legibility and Cartier’s signature design DNA.

Introduced as part of the Privé collection and limited to just 100 pieces, this model was reserved for seasoned collectors and has never formed part of Cartier’s general catalog. Its combination of slender rose gold case, manually wound visible movement, and distinct geometry makes it uniquely collectible. The accompanying dark alligator strap and gold ardillon buckle complete the wrist experience. The WHTA0028 appeals to those who value historical homage via architectural innovation, mechanical transparency, and rarity in haute horlogerie.

The Cartier Tank Asymétrique Large WHTA0028 is a striking interpretation of Cartier’s avant-garde Privé collection, presented with an asymmetric case that nods to the original 1936 design. The slender case measures approximately 47.2 × 26.2 mm, with a curved profile that elegantly hugs the wrist and a thickness of just 7.82 mm. Fashioned in polished 18K rose gold, it includes Cartier’s signature beaded crown topped with a blue sapphire cabochon. The case sides and brancards are softly chamfered for subtle refinement.

Its dial is fully skeletonized and crafted around the manually wound Calibre 9623 MC, designed to integrate with the asymmetric layout. The open architecture features Roman numeral bridges that form the hour markers and structural motifs of the movement, hovering above and around the exposed gear train. The architecture emphasizes vertical symmetry, with a visible barrel at 12 o’clock and balance wheel at 6, while blued‑steel sword hands provide clarity and continuity across the design. The movement beats at a crisp frequency and offers approximately 48 hours of power reserve.

Secured by a leather alligator strap with an 18K rose gold ardillon buckle, this limited-edition model exudes restrained sophistication. It’s water-resistant to 30 m, fitted with sapphire crystals front and back, and embodies a rare hybrid of vintage inspiration and modern skeleton artistry. With its asymmetric aesthetic and architectural depth, the WHTA0028 stands as one of Cartier’s most conceptual and collectible Tank pieces to date.
