Cartier Santos Dumont WGSA0053

6219 Santos Dumont Platinum WGSA0053 2023 Box and Papers These Cartier Santos Dumont models have a pop of colour where you normally expect metal - the bezel and case. Lacquer is applied to the top of the lugs as well as the bezel, giving these watches a uniquely Art Deco look. The Cartier Santos is, in many ways, the first modern wristwatch. Created for the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont after he complained about the difficulties of handling a pocket watch in flight, the Cartier Santos quickly became an icon of the times. The overall design of a rectangular watch with rounded edges and a dial featuring thin, elongated Roman numerals has survived through to modern times, proving its ubiquity and timelessness. Building off this design, the Santos Dumont provides a more elegant rendition of the icon. With a thinner case and manual wind movement, it takes the Santos back to its original roots as a design-led wristwatch developed for the gentile adventurer.
