Cartier Santos Octagon Mens Midsize Watch, Automatic - Stainless Steel & Diamonds

Cartier

Item No. 6024

The Octagon is a seldom seen watch in the Santos line and is one of the affordable distinctive luxury watches. It is beautifully styled and its eight-sided bezel is suggestive of the iconic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.

Not a large watch, this mens Octagon measures 31mm wide and the crown and guards add a couple more millimeters. It features a stainless steel case with octagonal bezel, strong black Roman dial with steel "epee" hands, sapphire topped crown, and Cartier mechanical movement.

The original bezel has previously been aftermarket set by a jewelery with brilliant sparkling diamonds that are white and eye clean.

Unlike the quartz version of the Santos, this more desirable mechanical example possesses an automatic movement and in a way showcases the timeless art of traditional watchmaking.

The watch presents as gorgeous condition - about a 9.7 out of 10. On the wrist it presents nearly like new.

The movement is clean and keeping time within approx. 1 second/hour.

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

Cartier Santos:
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.
