The Cartier Must de Cartier Ref. 2413 is a modern continuation of one of Cartier’s most enduring designs. Drawing directly from the iconic Tank lineage, this Large model offers the perfect balance of elegance, wearability, and unmistakable Cartier identity.
Produced in the early 2000s, this example retains all the classic design cues collectors and first-time buyers alike are drawn to: the rectangular case, Roman numerals, chemin-de-fer minute track, and Cartier’s signature dial motif. The proportions work exceptionally well on the wrist, offering a refined presence without feeling delicate or oversized.
A key highlight here is the inclusion of the original Cartier Paris strap and Cartier clasp, a detail that adds real value and authenticity, and something increasingly missing from examples on the market.

As always, this is an honest example that has been properly checked and prepared, rather than over-restored or artificially presented.
Collector Insight
The Must de Cartier range has seen renewed interest in recent years, particularly among buyers looking for a true Cartier design at an accessible entry point. Large models like this Ref. 2413 are especially appealing, as they wear comfortably on modern wrists while retaining the elegance that defines the Tank aesthetic.
