While the primary alloy used for every classic Cartier wristwatch model is 18K yellow gold, its not unheard of for some models to be produced in differents metals in this era, but it is extremely uncommon. The ref. 78086 is a beloved reference for the Tank Louis model for its refined design of the Tank model, this specific example however, is cast in 18K white gold, an extremely rare variation of the reference which makes for both a more exclusive timepiece with an elevated aesthetic.
