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

The mens full size Santos showcased in today's offering features a stainless steel case with 18K bezel, 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.

Besides its beautiful condition, what sets this example apart from others is its unique bracelet. We have been told by another dealer that the bracelet was a special edition made only for one year in the '90's.

This rare example presents in gorgeous condition. It has one line of wear to the back. On the wrist it presents like new.

It has been freshly cleaned and oiled and is keeping time nearly on par with a new Cartier.

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

Retail replacement value for a new Santos: $8,500.00 USD

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 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.
