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, classic white 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.

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.

We are proud to offer this mens Santos Galbee in mint condition - it presents as a 9.6 out of 10. The bracelet has only slight stretch. On the wrist it presents like new.

A Master Watchmaker has just freshly overhauled the movement. It is keeping very accurate time.

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

Accompanying the watch is a period correct Cartier certificate that came with the watch when we acquired it. The serial number that's filled in is different from the watch's. It may be original to the watch and was just filled in incorrectly or the wrong one given to the customer, as happens frequently, or it may have later been paired with it.

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.

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.
