7 Most Sophisticated Cartier Tank for Women

Introduced in 1918, the Cartier Tank was inspired by the boxy Renault FT-17 tanks which were used during the First World War. In fact, the first Cartier Tank was gifted to General John Pershing, an American World War I General. Since then, the Cartier Tank rose to stardom, with celebrities such as Andy Warhol and Princess Diana donning it.
