Diamonds are not usually a common sight here at Mann About Time, but with the current fervour surrounding all things Tank and Stone, this was hard to resist. Coming in just 1 mm larger than the classic gents Cartier Tank at 24 mm wide without crown, this is an infinitely wearable unisex watch

The outer portion of the dial is high gloss onyx, separate by a perimeter of set diamonds, with a matte black centre and gold printed Piaget. Dauphine hands complete the sultry evening aesthetic

The 18k yellow gold case is very good, with a small nick to the upper left, otherwise excellent, with deep and crisp manufactured and serial engraving

Service history unknown, but the watch is currently running well with an amplitude of 269 at approximately +12 s/d
