Cartier Santos Large — 18K Rose Gold, White Dial, Roman Numerals & Rose Gold Bracelet, Automatic
The Cartier Santos de Cartier Large in 18-karat rose gold is the definitive expression of aviation watchmaking heritage — the iconic square case with its eight exposed polished gold screws at the bezel and matching screwed bracelet links is immediately recognisable as the world’s first purpose-designed wristwatch, created for Santos-Dumont in 1904. The white lacquer dial carries bold black Roman numerals in Cartier’s signature elongated typeface, with characteristic blued steel sword hands sweeping across with mechanical precision. A blue sapphire cabochon crown adds Cartier’s unmistakable jewellery finishing touch. The full rose gold Santos-style bracelet with integrated quick-release interchangeable strap system flows seamlessly from the case in a unified, substantial wrist presence.
