Cartier Santos Galbee W20098D6

It was in 1904 that Louis Cartier gave a watch to his good friend and aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont that was designed to be worn on the wrist. The Santos watch was the first ever men's wristwatch, originally invented to make it easier to check the time while flying. It was a game-changer in the industry thanks to Santos-Dumont's huge popularity and fame, as well as a very early example of the iconic Art Deco style that would influence fashion and watchmaking for decades. The modern Santos watches maintain the classic hallmarks of the original, including the rounded square case, Roman numerals and fully incorporated lugs.

This Cartier Santos Galbee W20098D6 has a silver roman numeral dial and a bracelet strap. This Cartier has undergone a thorough inspection of accuracy, functionality and condition at a Cartier certified service centre to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been checked against records to ensure authenticity.
