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 Certified Pre-Owned mens Octagon measures 31mm wide and the crown and guards add a couple more millimetres. It features a stainless steel case with 18K gold octagonal bezel, classic ivory Roman dial with blue steel "epee" hands, sapphire topped crown, and mechanical Cartier movement.

It has fully Cartier parts down to the original dial, hands, and crown and presents as gorgeous condition - overall about a 9.7 out of 10. On the wrist it presents nearly like new.

Note that the photos came out with a little red tint that isn't present on the watch or dial.

A Master Watchmaker has installed a new battery and performed any needed servicing.

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

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, Djimon Hounsou, Jennifer Aniston, Anna Wintour, and the late Princess Diana, Cartier watches have long been favourites 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.
