Lot Essay

Cartier has long been recognized as one of the leading designers of watches for gentlemen and ladies. The Santos model was created in 1904 at the request of its namesake, Alberto Santos-Dumont, who was an aviator and wanted a watch he could wear on his wrist while flying instead of a pocket watch. This particular model is in stainless steel with 18k yellow gold accents on the bracelet and case. The dial features the Cartier secret signature at 7 o'clock. At the time this watch came out it was intended for a man but it would also be suitable for the wrist of a lady.
