The Santos De Cartier is not merely a watch — it is the watch that invented the modern wristwatch as we know it. Born in 1904 when Louis Cartier designed a timepiece for his aviator friend Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos has since become one of the most recognisable and celebrated watch designs in history. This pre-owned 2024 example (Ref.erence WSSA0018) in stainless steel with integrated steel bracelet is presented in excellent condition, complete with original box and papers.

The Santos WSSA0018 belongs to the large Santos model — commanding at 47.5 x 39.8mm, yet surprisingly wearable thanks to its elegant proportions and integrated bracelet. The white dial is punctuated by blue steel hands and the quintessential Santos Roman numeral chapter ring, while a date aperture adds practical utility. The iconic blue cabochon crown — a Cartier signature detail — adds a jewellery-house flourish to what is already one of watchmaking's most iconic silhouettes.

The integrated steel bracelet features Cartier's QuickSwitch system, allowing effortless strap changes without tools. The case is water resistant to 100 metres, making this as capable as it is beautiful. A self-winding mechanical movement provides reliable daily accuracy.
