Cartier Santos WSSA0029
2023, Box and Papers
$7,200
With a rich history dating back to 1847, Cartier debuted the what we know as the Santos in 1904, when Louis Cartier designed a watch for his friend, the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who wanted to read the time without taking his hands off the controls. It was one of the first wristwatches ever made for regular use, and its square case with exposed screws has stayed recognizable for over a century. The Santos de Cartier carries that original design forward, with a square bezel secured by eight exposed screws, a fully integrated bracelet, and the QuickSwitch which allow you to change straps without tools.
This example is the WSSA0029, a stainless steel 35mm medium model with a silvered opaline dial, black Roman numerals, and blued steel sword-shaped hands. A faceted spinel sits on the crown, and the watch is protected by a sapphire crystal.
It comes complete with the original box and papers, along with a light brown leather strap fitted with a Cartier deployment buckle, so you can switch between the steel bracelet and the leather strap in seconds. Available exclusively at Asbury Park Watches
