Cartier Tank Normale Ref. 78093 Paris Dial – 18K Yellow Gold PM, 1970s – Iconic Elegance in Period-Correct Form

We are delighted to offer this exceptional Cartier Tank Normale, Ref. 78093, dating to the 1970s—an exquisite example of Parisian design refinement and timeless horological elegance. Dressed in warm 18K yellow gold and featuring the rare and sought-after “Paris” signed dial, this piece encapsulates everything collectors revere about vintage Cartier: minimalism, geometry, and quiet prestige.

Heritage & Design

First introduced by Louis Cartier in 1917 and inspired by the Renault tanks of WWI, the Tank Normale remains the original and purest expression of the Tank line. This rare 1970s reference 78093 is a standout variant, crafted in the Petite Modèle (PM) case with elegantly compact proportions in 18K yellow gold—a warm tone that beautifully complements the crisp white dial and blued steel accents with flawless symmetry.

What sets this example apart is its Paris-signed dial, a signature indicating it was retailed directly from Cartier’s iconic Rue de la Paix boutique—a highly desirable marker among serious collectors. The original faceted sapphire cabochon crown, blue steel sword hands, and authentic dial composition further elevate this piece into collector-grade territory.

Case: 18K yellow gold rectangular Tank case, carefully polished while retaining its original edges and hallmarks—showing thoughtful preservation.
Movement: Cartier Caliber 78-1, manual-winding, freshly serviced and running with strong amplitude. Backed by a 1-year mechanical warranty for peace of mind.
Crown: Original faceted blue sapphire cabochon crown, untarnished and richly colored.
Hands: Factory original blued steel sword hands, maintaining their deep blue hue under light.
Strap & Clasp: Hand-made in Belgium leather strap fitted with a Cartier vermeil gold-plated pin buckle, combining period-correct elegance with comfort.

Trouble hanging
Color: White - 2 Doors
This was easy to assemble, just the right size. The only thing was the way it was hung on wall, very hard to measure the right height.

This is a great organizational tool. We needed medicine storage in our bathroom and my 12 year old assembled it in about 20 minutes. Great instructions and plenty of shelving. It looks great in our bathroom. Just perfect easy storage

Not worth it.
Color: White - 2 Doors
There is absolutely nothing sturdy about this cabinet. The design of the anchors are sub standard and the knobs are so cheap that they fell off during shipping. The size is suitable for the amount of things It stores less than I realized, but it will have to do for now. My advice is pass on buying this.
