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.

This beautiful Certified Pre-Owned mens midsize Octagon measures 31mm wide and the crown and guards add a couple more millimeters. Although it is the largest version of the Octagon, by today's standards it is a unisex size, perfect for a man with a small wrist or a woman who prefers a regular size watch rather than the dainty size of the ladies version of this watch.

It features a stainless steel case with classic 18K gold Santos bezel, ivory Roman dial with blue steel "epee" hands, sapphire topped crown, and Swiss Cartier quartz movement.

It has all of its original parts and presents in gorgeous condition - it presents as about a 9.7 out of 10.

Its case presents as mint with all of its original markings fully intact and facets on the lugs. Our photos couldn't do it justice. Its ivory dial presents as mint. And its crystal presents as mint.

A Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing.

For the finishing touch, we have installed a new calfskin leather strap and Cartier style buckle and meticulously detailed to make 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, and 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 him 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.
