Originally created in 1904 by Louis Cartier for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos is widely regarded as one of the first purpose-designed men’s wristwatches. Its square case and exposed screws remain among the most recognisable signatures in watchmaking. Presented in classic two-tone steel and yellow gold, this example features the signature yellow gold bezel and matching gold screws set against a brushed stainless steel case and bracelet—a configuration that perfectly captures late-20th-century Cartier design. The dial displays bold Roman numerals, a railway minute track, and Cartier’s unmistakable blued steel sword hands. At 29mm, this is the traditional men’s size of the Galbée era—elegant, refined, and effortlessly versatile. A timeless balance of sport and jewellery. A true cornerstone piece in any considered collection.
