London Tank L.C. Large Auction Example 23mm
London Tank LC Large Auction Example 2024
How it wears
Wears larger than its 23 mm case suggests
Cartier London Tank L.C. Large Auction Example 23mm measures 30 mm lug-to-lug on a 23 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.30 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 98% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 84% of the 196 Cartier watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 34 mm (1.34 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 40 mm (1.57 in) it starts to look compact. Below 30 mm (1.18 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
