This replica tank w5200002 gold delivers the Tank Louis template in a 24.4mm yellow gold case with automatic movement inside. The W5200002 reference is one of the few Tank models that combines a gold case with a self-winding caliber, making it both a dress piece and a mechanical watch. The Tank Louis line sits above the Tank Must and Tank Solo in the hierarchy, distinguished by curved lugs and thicker brancards that add visual weight to the rectangular silhouette. The warm yellow gold tone pairs with a brown alligator strap for a combination that leans firmly into classic territory.

Case & Movement Specs

• Case width: 24.4mm (rectangular)
• Case material: yellow gold
• Dial: silver with painted Roman numerals
• Hands: blued steel, sword-shaped
• Crystal: sapphire
• Strap: brown alligator with gold deployant clasp
• Movement: automatic
• Crown: gold with sapphire cabochon

The automatic caliber adds thickness compared to quartz Tank references, but the movement brings mechanical appeal that quartz versions cannot match. Winding the crown reveals smooth resistance typical of a quality automatic train.

Caliber Breakdown

The self-winding movement in this Tank Louis provides engagement that pure dress-watch wearers might not expect from a rectangular case. The rotor sits low in the case to preserve a flat profile, which matters given the Tank’s reputation for sitting flush against the wrist. Yellow gold cases carry a warmth that stainless steel cannot replicate, and the matching gold clasp completes the tonal consistency.

For a different take on gold within the same family, the Solo yellow gold with quartz offers a slimmer profile at the expense of the mechanical movement.

How It Compares

Tank Louis references occupy the top shelf of the Tank family, above the Solo and Must lines. The curved lugs and wider brancards give this version a presence that flatter Tank models lack. At 24.4mm the W5200002 stays within women’s proportions while carrying enough visual mass to hold its own on the wrist. Cartier designed the Tank Louis as the definitive dress watch, and this replica tank w5200002 gold honors that intent with gold, automatic movement, and alligator leather.
