Cartier Santos de Cartier, WSSA0029

We are proud to present this iconic Cartier Santos de Cartier for sale in mint condition.

Some may not know this, but the Santos was the first collection ever produced by Mr Louis Cartier in 1904 (13 years before the Tank!). Stemming from his relationship with his aviator friend Alberto Santos-Dumont, who often complained that he needed a legible watch which he could wear on the wrist due to his need for the use of both hands whilst flying. Cartier then designed the original Santos to be not only elegant and functional, but above all legible; hence succeeding in creating the first wristwatch for men. 

This midsize version of the Santos, reference WSSA0029 comes set in a contemporary 35.1m stainless steel curved case, which is 8.82mm thick giving it a slim profile on the wrist. The bezel is crafted from polished stainless steel and features the iconic Santos screws. The dial is a silver opaline with black printed Roman numerals, train-track minute markers, blued sword hands and a date feature at 6 o’clock. It is fitted with a convex sapphire crystal glass and the crown features a blue spinel cabochon. It comes fitted on a matching brushed stainless steel bracelet complete with polished screws, concealed butterfly clasp and ‘quick-switch' bracelet system. It is powered by the in-house Cartier calibre 1847MC automatic self-winding movement; protected by an 8 screw case back for water resistance of up to 10atm (100m/330ft).

Originally purchased in June 2020 and in mint condition, this Santos comes with its original inner & outer boxes, instruction booklet, additional brown leather strap, strap changing tool, stainless steel deployment clasp, original purchase invoice and international warranty card.

This Cartier benefits from the coverage of its extended warranty until June 2028.
