COMMENT
1978年から発表されたサントスシリーズ。こちらはラウンド型のサントスヴァンドームRef.81913です。ダイヤルは希少なバーガンディ。サントスシリーズには一般的なホワイトローマダイヤルの他に、グレーやバーガンディも展開され、特にバーガンディは需要が高いです。カボションリューズにはダイヤルに合わせた赤い貴石がセットされています。
ケースは大変状態がよく、当時のプロポーションを保っており高く評価できます。傷が少なく清潔感があります。バーガンディダイヤルは、経年変化の見られない、望みうる中で最高のコンディションを保っています。オリジナルのノンクラックダイヤルは非常に希少です。金色の針にはエイジングがなく、鏡面仕上げが輝きを反射します。弊社にて分解掃除済みですので、コレクションとしても、実用としてもご使用いただけます。
カルティエのブランドカラーとも言える深みのあるバーガンディダイヤルのサントス。竜頭も専用で製作されていることから、特別な思い入れのある作品に違いありません。宝飾時計のような、洗練されたドレスウォッチとして完成されています。

現在ではジュエラーとして名高いカルティエだが、まだ懐中時計が主流だった1904年に本格的な腕時計を製作したのはカルティエが最初であった。アルベルト・サントス・デュモンという飛行家からの「飛行中に手を離さずに見ることができる時計がほしい。」という依頼が誕生のきっかけで、「サントス（SANTOS）」の名を冠した腕時計が1911年に一般発売された。

COMMENT
The Santos series, introduced in 1978, includes the round-shaped Santos Vendome Ref. 81913. This model features a rare burgundy dial, which is highly sought after compared to the more common white Roman dials, as well as the grey variant. The cabochon crown is set with a red gemstone, matching the dial's color.
The case is in excellent condition, retaining its original proportions and showing minimal signs of wear, giving it a clean and pristine appearance. The burgundy dial is in top-notch condition with no signs of aging, a rare find for an original non-cracked dial. The gold hands are free of aging and reflect light beautifully due to their mirror finish. The watch has been fully serviced by our company, making it suitable for both collectors and daily wear.
The deep burgundy dial, a signature color for Cartier, highlights the brand's dedication to creating unique and memorable timepieces. The specially crafted crown further indicates the thought and effort put into this watch, making it a refined dress watch with the elegance of a jewelry piece.
BRAND
Cartier, now renowned as a jeweler, was the first to create a proper wristwatch in 1904, when pocket watches were still the norm. This innovation was driven by the request of aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who needed a watch he could check without taking his hands off the controls during flight. This led to the creation of the "Santos" watch, which was released to the public in 1911.
