Designed for lovers of beautiful objects, the exceptionally styled Santos embodies Cartier's classic sophistication. Today's offering showcases this Certified Pre-Owned mens or unisex size Santos with a ladies length bracelet.
It features a stainless steel case with classic white Roman dial with blue steel "epee" hands, sapphire topped crown, and high grade mechanical movement.
Unlike the quartz version of the Santos, this more desirable mechanical example possesses an automatic movement that showcases the timeless art of traditional watchmaking.
It presents in gorgeous condition - it presents as about a 9.2 out of 10. It has light remnants of wear/aging to the back. On the wrist it presents very nicely.
Our Master Watchmaker has replaced the waterproofing seals with new genuine Cartier gaskets and one of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it.
For the finishing touch we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Cartier Santos:
Worn by Bill Clinton, Elton John, and Djimon Hounsou, Cartier watches have long been favourites of royalty, Hollywood celebrities, and anyone desiring to wear a timepiece of distinction.
Cartier created the Santos in honor of the famous Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. Alberto Santos-Dumont, a true daring aviation pioneer, flew in France and Europe in some of the first prototype airplanes. After hearing complaints from him friend about how difficult it was to access his pocket watch in the cockpit, Cartier rose to the challenge by creating a special watch that could be strapped to the wrist.
