Cartier Santos-Dumont 1575 Paris Dial

Details

The watch is in excellent with light marks only and has the rare Paris dial. Comes on a new leather strap with the original gold Cartier buckle.

The Cartier Santos is, in many ways, the first modern wristwatch. Created for the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont after he complained about the difficulties of handling a pocket watch in flight, the Cartier Santos quickly became an icon of the times. The overall design of a rectangular watch with rounded edges and a dial featuring thin, elongated Roman numerals has survived through to modern times, proving its ubiquity and timelessness.

CARTIER

Cartier comfortably sits at the intersection between fine watchmaking and art, combining years of heritage with eye-catching and unique case designs. From its inception in the turn of the 20th Century, Cartier has earned a well-deserved reputation for being a manufacture that has successfully transformed the humble wristwatch from a soldier's tool into a true object of desire.
