There's some confusion over reference number and model number for the Cartier Stepped Tank Hicham Jumbo XL
Greetings. I happen to own a VERY nice example of this watch, the Cartier Stepped Tank Hicham Jumbo XL. I inherited it from my fathers estate. This watch actually has three different reference numbers due to it being produced in three different boutiques; London (reference number 471), Paris (reference number 1543) and New York (reference number 15716). All three versions are under one model number - 55122115. Hope this clears up any confusion. Below photo is my watch (London 471).

Not every unknown Cartier timepiece is a sleeper
Some models never become anything, just because the design is not strong enough. And the Cristallor is in my opinion such model. I doubt that Cartier will ever re release this watch again. Take for instance the 'Pebble' watch, designed by Cartier London, ...
Thank you C-C
I wasn't really sure, I just thought that it was such a strong design. Cool that Cartier celebrates its 50th. anniversary. GEO
Wrong reference numbers
The reference numbers 1543 is wrong. It should be 5512116 for the Paris and London versions.

This is just a stepped tank not Cristallor
In my knowledge the stepped tank is not equal to Cristallor in so many ways. Try google Cartier 78095/78096 and you will know the difference. And the model you showed could be gold plated whereas the Cristallor is 18K gold both in Jumbo and XL size.
