When others have been lusting lately after Paul Newman’s Paul Newman Daytona in the watch world, I have been dreaming about a different watch. Don’t get me wrong, Paul Newman’s Paul Newman is likely to be the most luxurious collectible watch, almost by definition. After all, Paul Newmans are a big reason we even have a vintage Rolex market to begin with, but for me there is another watch on the market that speaks to my soul far more than the Daytona. What I am going to talk about is a Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ Cartier Tank replica watch.
Much like Paul Newman’s Paul Newman, Jackie’s (yes, in my mind we are now on a first name basis) Cartier Tank is not so much about the watch itself, but the person and time that it represents. Newman, a ruggedly handsome and salt-of-the-earth kind of guy, wore his Daytona daily and casually, before gifting it to his daughter’s boyfriend. He used it for the purpose of telling time, and timing his car races (because that is what replica watches are actually for). At the same time, Jackie O. likely wore her watch as a means to tell time, for sentimental reasons, and well, since it looked great with her oversized glasses and pillbox hats. 
It is known to all that the fake Cartier Tank is one of the most elegant watch designs of all time, and is possibly one of the most recognized timepieces – all this making it one of the most iconic timepieces ever produced. In turn, what’s more, Jackie O. is one of the most iconic women to ever exist. As a matter of fact, some (cough, me) could argue that she is the most iconic woman to ever exist, which makes this watch, her watch, the most iconic ladies’ watch ever.
The watch itself is exactly what am looking for. Petite and Patinated, this fake Cartier Tank has the familiar glow and nostalgic feel of your grandmother’s gold jewelry. It is clear that she wore it often. The case is compact, measuring 20mm wide by 28mm long. The corners have been smoothed down and the cabochon sapphire crown is in the more traditional shape for the Tank, which was unusual for that time period, as Cartier replica was experimenting with more geometric crown shapes.
The dial is common silver with fat, black Roman numerals and blued steel hands. It is signed Cartier France on the dial and on the caseback, as well as the case number 44374. While this would usually imply the watch was sold in Paris, it was in fact sold in the New York boutique in 1962, which is further confirmed by the OYP import stamp on the manual-winding movement. Thus it goes without saying that this watch was an incredible thing to hold and to see. It is incredibly rare to come across a timepiece that belonged to someone like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, let alone put it on my wrist.
