The Extremely Lady watch collection most closely reflects the Piaget jewelry watch worn by Jackie Kennedy Onassis in the late 1960s

One of the things with vintage watches is that there is always that mystery of what kind of life they have had before you see them or added them to your collection. In most cases, this remains a mystery, but in some cases, this life is rather well documented. A watch that falls in the latter is the Cartier Tanks Normale that used to belong to Jackie Kennedy, as we take an exclusive look at this extraordinairy watch.

Few watches are as famous and recognized throughout the world as a Cartier Tank. Its rectangular shape made for a timeless watch, and it is no wonder that it also graced the wrists of elegant and sophisticated ladies around the world. Among them, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and her Cartier Tank Normale is coming up for auction at Christie's June action.
