Cartier Tank Must de Vermeil Classic Roman Lemon Dial Ref 590005 from 1990s

Cartier Must de Tank Vermeil – Classic Roman Lemon Dial – Reference 590005

A distinguished expression of Cartier’s refined Tank heritage, this Cartier Must de Tank Vermeil, Reference 590005, features the timeless elegance of the classic Roman Lemon dial—a warm, ivory-toned display that evokes vintage charm and Parisian sophistication.

The case is Cartier’s hallmark rectangular vermeil construction, measuring 23mm x 30mm: sterling silver layered with a lustrous coating of 18k gold. The dial is adorned with jet-black Roman numerals, precisely printed for classical symmetry, and enhanced by Cartier’s signature blued steel hands—a visual hallmark of the maison’s enduring aesthetic.

Inside, the watch is powered by the Cartier Calibre 90 quartz movement, delivering precise and low-maintenance timekeeping—ideal for both everyday use and formal settings.

This particular piece comes mounted on a brand new, hand-made Belgian leather strap, offering softness, structure, and artisanal quality. It is secured by a regular gold-plated standard pin buckle, offering a clean, vintage-inspired closure that complements the overall tone without drawing attention away from the dial’s character.

For collectors and style connoisseurs alike, this Must de Tank with Roman Lemon dial presents an exceptional opportunity to own a quietly rare and beautifully balanced timepiece from Cartier’s golden design era.
