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.

Today's offering showcases this original Certified Pre-Owned ladies Octagon with "Godron" bracelet. It features a stainless steel case with 18K bezel, classic white Roman dial with blue steel "epee" hands, sapphire topped crown, and mechanical movement.

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 watch making.

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

It is fully Cartier and presents in gorgeous original condition - about a 9.6 out of 10. On the wrist it presents nearly like new.

Its case presents as just short of perfect mint condition and still retains all of its original stamping which is often no longer present on many examples. On the wrist it presents as mint.

Its untouched original dial presents as mint to the naked eye. If highly scrutinized at the just the right angle of light crazing lines are slightly visible in the lacquire as is often the case with Cartier dials. Its adjustable bracelet presents as mint with no stretch.

It is keeping accurate time and has had any needed servicing performed. We have also tested the watch on a machine that spins it in all directions simulating it being worn. These are known for being difficult to wind even after servicing. That is not the case with this one - it winds very well.

Should the watch need servicing in the future, your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One of our Master Watchmakers has done authorized servicing work for Cartier's Service Center.

For the finishing touch we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Accompanying it is a red Cartier signed pouch that was with the watch when we acquired it.

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.
