Jackie Kennedy Onassis's Cartier Petit Tank Normale is on display at the V&A South Kensington in London .

The watch is part of a new exhibition at the museum's new “Cartier” exhibition, which opens on Saturday, April 12 .

For Jackie , 1963 was a year marked by both joy and unimaginable sorrow.

Jackie Kennedy's watch was auctioned at Christie's in 1994 .

After her death, the inevitable Sotheby’s sale of her belongings did not include her watch.

After the sale of the watch, an undisclosed bidder won the watch for $ 379,500 .

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy also owned one of Jackie's Tanks .

Wind explained that historically, Cartier is not believed to have kept a totally comprehensive record of all the watches, including the Tank and its variations, across the world.

The only accountable mainstay was and is the design of the watch, she said.

The Tank watch will finally get to see the publicized Tank watch in London at the V&A , completing part of the story.
