Always great insights - was this piece also part of the collaboration?
Saw this in Dubai at the AP booth. Forgot to take a photo of the description!

Audemars Piguet & Cartier
So, here's how it all started. While doing some research on Instagram, I came across the first watch below: an Audemars Piguet Tank with a dial signed " Audemars, Piguet" at 12 o'clock and " Cartier" at 6 o'clock. It led me to start looking for all the do...
Thank you Emmanuel!
All beautiful pieces and some cool bracelets, like the last white gold tanks. Overall I’d go with a very classic piece I guess, the yellow gold chronograph with blue written dial.
My pleasure, Derreck!
The chronograph is exquisite, but maybe not quite as characteristic of the "Cartier spirit" as the rectangular examples: so I would personally be very happy with a double-signed Tank. The first one appeals to me particularly. Best, Emmanuel
Very interesting article and some great pictures of some great watches.
Personally I think part of the issue is that most of us may be slightly guilty of romanticising our favourite maisons and not being wholly open to realising that they are not always as great as we like to think. It is in fact quite usual for many of the b...
I acknowledge that there's a certain idealization involved.
A more objective perspective would undoubtedly allow for a better appreciation of the value of a brand like Piaget. That said, many of these AP/Cartier pieces are truly charming. Best, Emmanuel
Wow — what a lot of watches to take in — I may need another espresso —
For me, perhaps, the first Tank, the gold chronograph, and the round, yellow gold!
Yes, I didn't think I would find so many!
The history of the AP/Cartier collaboration seems very rich. For me, definitely the first one, or at least a rectangular piece. Best, Emmanuel
Thx for this great post with lots of imagery !.. Definitely a lot of work..
.. this must have been ! - A really Big Thank You ‼️ On a purely subjective basis an early Tank 5839, maybe a Square YG and maybe a merely Cartier labelled RG Tank.. 😉 Thx again for your work & presentation ! Best 😊
Thank you so much! A lot of research indeed,
but interesting and concerning watches which I like, especially the rectangular ones. The first double-signed tank, probably in platinum is very much to my taste. Best cordial regards, Emmanuel
I think this collaboration is mainly looked after by core vintage collectors
like John Goldberger or Roni Madhvani. I like the rectangular pieces very much, personally. Best, Emmanuel

Thanks for sharing, Peter.
I think this one might have been made for Gübelin, not for Cartier. Check here: https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/lot-47-163?page=9 Best, Emmanuel credit: Antiquorum ...
