Description
The Cartier Santos-Dumont watch is a remarkable timepiece that epitomizes elegance and precision, presented as a limited edition of just 200 individually numbered pieces. This specific model, designated as WGSA0082, features an exquisite 34mm by 44mm case crafted from Platinum 950/1000, a material known for its rarity and exceptional quality. The watch is adorned with a fixed bezel, also made from the same high-grade platinum, lending it a sense of durability and luxury.
Complementing the case is a sumptuous brown alligator-skin strap, which is both stylish and comfortable, secured by a platinum ardillon buckle that further emphasizes the watch’s premium craftsmanship. The dial of the Santos-Dumont is a striking matte guilloché-effect surface, showcasing distinctive red jasper Roman numerals that not only enhance readability but also add a splash of color to the overall aesthetic. The watch features polished steel hands shaped like apples, which glide smoothly across the dial, indicating the time with both grace and accuracy.
Protected by a sapphire crystal, the dial remains resistant to scratches, ensuring that the intricacies of the watch are visible for years to come. The timepiece is accented by a beaded crown, also fashioned from platinum, which is set with a captivating ruby cabochon, adding a touch of opulence. On the reverse side, the solid case back is engraved with the handwritten signature of the legendary aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, paying homage to the watch’s rich history and connection to aviation.
At its heart, the watch is powered by the Cartier Calibre 430 MC, a hand-wound mechanical movement renowned for its reliability and precision, offering a power reserve of up to 42 hours. The Santos-Dumont also boasts a water resistance rating of 30 meters, making it suitable for everyday wear while preserving its sophisticated appearance. This unworn timepiece stands as a testament to Cartier’s commitment to excellence and artistry, making it a coveted addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
