Cartier Santos — 18K White Gold, Full Diamond Case, Panthère Dial, Mother-of-Pearl & Black Alligator Strap, Quartz

This Cartier Santos in 18-karat white gold with full pavé diamond case and Panthère-motif dial is among the most extraordinary and collectible Santos creations ever produced — a museum-quality piece of haute joaillerie watchmaking in which the entire exterior surface of the iconic octagonal Santos case, including the characteristic exposed screw-head bezel and all lug surfaces, is covered in a continuous field of round brilliant-cut diamonds of exceptional brilliance and setting precision. The dial achieves an entirely different order of artistic ambition: a hand-crafted Panthère panther figure rendered in full diamond pavé and black onyx lacquer spots against a luminous white mother-of-pearl ground, the feline form occupying the full dial surface in the tradition of Cartier’s greatest jewellery-watch masterpieces. Supple black alligator-leather strap. Swiss Made quartz movement.
