Cartier Santos Dumont WSSA0022

Cartier Santos-Dumont WSSA0022 Large Steel Quartz Watch Black Strap | Box & Card | RRP $8,000 #70256

Description Few watches carry a story quite like the Santos. Originally designed in 1904 for Brazilian aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont — who needed a timepiece he could read without taking his hands off the controls — the Santos-Dumont is where modern watchmaking began. More than a century later, Cartier’s Santos-Dumont remains one of the most elegant and historically significant watches in the world. The WSSA0022 is the large steel model, and it wears beautifully on the wrist. The signature square case with its exposed screws and sleek polished finish is unmistakably Cartier — bold enough to turn heads, refined enough to wear anywhere. The silver-tone dial with bold Roman numerals, railway minute track and iconic blued steel sword hands is a masterclass in understated luxury. Paired with a supple black leather strap, it sits as comfortably in a boardroom as it does at a black-tie dinner. This example comes complete with original box and card, and is suitable for both men and women. Condition: Excellent pre-owned condition — as seen in photos.
