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. Cartier watches have seen an explosion in popularity in the last year.

Not a large watch, this Certified Pre-Owned mens Octagon measures 31mm wide and the crown and guards add a couple more millimeters.

It features a stainless steel case with 18K gold octagonal bezel, classic ivory Roman dial with blue steel "epee" hands, sapphire topped crown, and quartz Cartier movement that never needs to be wound.

It has all of its original parts and presents in gorgeous condition. Its bracelet has a couple of slightly stiff links - otherwise it all presents as about a 9.6 out of 10.

Its case presents as mint condition. Its untouched original dial is in mint condition. The finish of the bracelet presents as mint. On the wrist, it presents nearly like new.

A Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing and installed a new battery. 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 and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

Cartier Santos:
Worn by Bill Clinton, Elton John, Djimon Hounsou, Jennifer Aniston, Anna Wintour, and the late Princess Diana, 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.
