Cartier Santos Galbee XL

Details

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.

This watch is in excellent condition, with light marks to the case and bracelet.

Comes with original Cartier red box, document folder, operations manual and original guarantee booklet stamped and signed at Cartier New Bond Street London in 2006.
