The model carried Cartier through 27 years of production until the reference series was retired in 2023 and replaced by the redesigned WSTA0105 line. The Pink Mother of Pearl variant arrived in the mid-2000s, ran for less than a decade, and was discontinued before the broader Tank Française reissue. The watch reaches Cairo through Sold Attire's Japan sourcing channel, where it was acquired through Star Buyers Auction with the Excellent condition rating that corresponds to our SA Score 9.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eThe Dialogue\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the difference between the Tank Française Small and Medium models?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Small Model measures 25 mm by 20 mm, the Medium 30 mm by 25 mm.
