Item Description

This complete set originated from Cartier Hong Kong and has been inspected by a local Cartier boutique. The watch only shows minor scratches and a tiny dent on the polished bezel. It comes with its original Cartier leather strap and deployment clasp. The original strap is in good condition, except for the area around the clasp: some of the leather edges peeled due to the sharpness of the deployment clasp.

It comes with an outer box, a red Cartier box, a red Cartier booklet holder, manuals, and a 2006 warranty certificate with a Cartier stamp and matching serial numbers.

The Watch

Santos de Cartier

The Santos de Cartier, one of the most iconic timepieces in horological history, was created in 1904 for the pioneering aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. Designed by Louis Cartier, it was the first wristwatch made for men, addressing Santos-Dumont's need for a practical way to track time while flying. This groundbreaking creation marked a significant shift in watch design and established the wristwatch as a fashionable accessory, forever linking the Santos name with innovation and timeless elegance.

The Crown

Faceted Synthetic Spinel

The crown is adorned with a stunning faceted synthetic spinel blue crystal, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the watch. This vibrant blue gemstone not only contrasts beautifully with the stainless steel case but also serves as a signature design element of Cartier, embodying the brand’s commitment to luxurious jewelleries.
