No, it’s not a Tank. And yes, it deserves your attention!
While Parisian jeweler to the stars Cartier may be best known in horological circles for its famed Tank watch, the French firm produced — and continues to produce — numerous other watch models that deserve equal billing for their unique and sumptuous designs.
One such collection is the Santos de Cartier. One of Cartier's most important and famous model lines, the Santos was born as a gift to explorer Alberto Santos-Dumont. Originally characterized by its utilitarian square case, this particular Santos is octagonal, breaking with convention to provide a refreshing twist of interest and taste.
This Cartier Santos features a stunning black dial with applied hour and minute diamond markers, a diamond bezel, and diamond bracelet integration pins. Housed in a 30mm yellow gold case, it features an integrated yellow gold rivet bracelet.
Beautiful.
In excellent condition and showing only light wear throughout, this Santos is sure to stand out!
