CARTIER SANTOS OCTAGON Mens Unisex Watch, Automatic - Stainless Steel & 18K Gold

Gorgeous Condition - Fully Cartier & Serviced

The Octagon is a seldom seen watch in the Santos line and is one of the affordable distinctive luxury watches. It is beautifully styled and its eight-sided bezel is suggestive of the iconic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. 

Not a large watch, this Certified Pre-Owned mens Octagon measures 31mm wide and the crown and guards add a couple more millimetres. It features a stainless steel case with 18K gold octagonal bezel, classic white Roman dial with blue steel "epee" hands, sapphire topped crown, and mechanical Cartier movement.

Unlike the quartz version of the Santos, this more desirable mechanical example possesses an automatic movement and in a way showcases the timeless art of traditional watchmaking.

It is fully Cartier and presents in gorgeous condition - about a 9.7 out of 10. On the wrist it presents like new.

A Master Watchmaker has fully serviced it ($495 value). It is running strong. Note that the waterproofing gasket in the crown normally makes this model slightly stiff to wind, even after servicing. This one winds just fine for one of these watches. But if you would prefer never to hand wind its small crown, it's a great candidate to be placed on a watch winder for convenience. 

For the finishing touch we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment. 

Cartier Santos:

Worn by Bill Clinton, Elton John, Djimon Hounsou, Jennifer Aniston, Anna Wintour, and the late Princess Diana, Cartier watches have long been favourites of royalty, Hollywood celebrities, and anyone desiring to wear a timepiece of distinction.

Cartier created the Santos in honor of the famous Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. Alberto Santos-Dumont, a true daring aviation pioneer, flew in France and Europe in some of the first prototype airplanes.
