Cartier Santos-Dumont in Stainless Steel

$4,500

The Cartier Santos-Dumont is one of the most historically important wristwatches ever created, first designed in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. This modern stainless steel execution retains the hallmarks of the original design — the square case, exposed screws, and Roman numeral dial — while presenting a refined, contemporary aesthetic. The silvered sunburst dial with blued steel hands captures Cartier’s timeless elegance, while the cabochon sapphire crown and sleek leather strap complete the look. A perfect fusion of heritage and modernity, the Santos-Dumont remains a cornerstone of Cartier’s legacy.
