This impressive feat is achieved through the utilization of the renowned Frederic Piaget Cal. 21 ultra-thin mechanical movement. Though this Cartier Santos-Dumont "Extra Plate" is one of the thinnest watches Cartier ever made, it retains the standard height and width dimensions of the Santos-Dumont in this era, making for a perfectly proportioned timepiece. The ref. 821054 is also renowned for its alluring "Flinque" dial, which is a painstaking dial-making process that involves a carved guilloché pattern that is then finished with a layer of enamel, creating a truly beautiful dial presentation with incredible depth. The case retains its original blue sapphire cabochon crown. The silvered white guilloché and enamel "Flinque" dial with black Roman numerals is flawless, showing no age or damage whatsoever. The original blue hands are in perfect condition. The back of the case retains all of its original factory markings, Paris signature and hallmarks in crisp and clear condition. The watch comes with the pictured blue Molequin nubuck strap with plated Cartier pin buckle and a second brown Molequin nubuck strap.
