Large Model (LM)
Must de Cartier Tank (manual wind) — Large Model (LM)
Undated
Large size, about 23.5 mm wide and 30.5 mm long (catalogues give 23–24 × 30–31 mm), caseback number starting with 6. Recorded with the widest range of dials.
No separate reference number: the caseback carries a size digit (3 = SM, 6 = LM) and a serial, seven digits in all. Collectors identify these by size, dial and movement. Auction catalogues occasionally print other numbers for manual-wind examples (81972500 and 15705 at Antiquorum); these are recorded as notes.
