No, it’s not a Tank. And yes, it deserves your attention!

While Parisian jeweler to the stars Cartier may be best known in horological circles for its famed Tank watch, the French firm produced — and continues to produce — numerous other watch models that deserve equal billing for their unique and sumptuous designs.

One such collection is the Santos de Cartier. One of Cartier's most important and famous model lines, the Santos was born as a gift to explorer Alberto Santos-Dumont. Originally characterized by its utilitarian square case, this particular Santos is octagonal, breaking with convention to provide a refreshing twist of interest and taste.

This Cartier Santos features a beautiful white dial framed by a classic Santos themed octagonal bezel. Housed in a 30mm stainless steel case, it features an integrated stainless bracelet, also with a Santos themed motif, and a double 'C' signed deployant clasp.

Beautiful.

In good condition and showing light wear throughout, this Santos is sure to be a stand out in any collection!
