Santos Watches
Box & Papers 
The Cartier Santos is one of the most important designs in watchmaking history, blending pioneering spirit with timeless appeal.
Created in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos became the first modern wristwatch. Its square case, visible screws and integrated bracelet gave it a bold yet elegant aesthetic that remains instantly recognisable today. Cartier has refined the design over time, improving comfort while preserving the character that made it iconic.
Available in stainless steel, two-tone or full gold, a pre-owned Cartier Santos offers a balance of strength and sophistication that appeals to both men and women. Collectors value it for its rich history, everyday versatility and consistent performance in the secondary market, particularly for discontinued references and rarer dial configurations.
