Cartier Mens Santos 2-Tone Automatic Watch - Stainless Steel & 18K Gold

Cartier

Item No. 7693ST

Designed for lovers of beautiful objects, the exceptionally styled Santos embodies Cartier's classic sophistication.

Today's offering showcases this superior Certified Pre-Owned mens Santos. It features a stainless steel case with 18K bezel, classic ivory Roman dial with blue steel "epee" hands, sapphire topped crown, and mechanical Cartier 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.

We are proud to offer this mens Santos Galbee that presents in just short of mint condition - it presents as a 9.6 out of 10. On the wrist it presents like new.

A Master Watchmaker has just freshly overhauled the movement. It winds very smoothly for this model and is keeping very accurate time in all testing positions.

For the finishing touch we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Accompanying the watch is a Cartier Certificate of Authenticity. It came with the watch when we acquired it but appears to be for a different product.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

Cartier Santos:
Worn by Bill Clinton, Elton John, and Djimon Hounsou, Cartier watches have long been favorites 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 his 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.
