Description
Cartier Santos, model W1505453, 18K gold, manual mechanical, large watch diameter 27X36mm, perfect product, single watch, very rare
The earliest Cartier watch was designed and manufactured by Louis Cartier in 1904 for his friend Mr. Santos Dumont, named the Santos watch. Albert Santos Dumont, originally from Brazil, was elected as a pioneer in the aviation industry at that time because he conducted a series of flight tests and made great contributions to the design and testing of early aircraft. In the era of pocket watches, the Santos watch was not officially launched on the market until 1911. Mr. Santos, the air hero and playboy, also became the protagonist of the promotion, showing that he wore a Cartier watch anytime and anywhere, which showed the professionalism of this watch on the one hand, and also implied that people who love colorful life love this watch on the other hand.
This is almost a perfect piece in the modern Santos series. The 18K gold case and the ultra-thin and reliable FP manual-winding mechanical movement make this Santos a collection-level piece.
