Originally created on the request of Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in the early 20th century, the model was made in series starting from 1911 and the Cartier Santos was born. Featuring an distinctive square-shaped case with rounded edges, the model remains as one of the firm’s flagship timepieces still in production today with many variants and complications developed.

The present contemporary example Cartier Santos Dumont cased in an all-black ADLC-coated titanium case with a fully skeletonized dial with its movement blackened to achieve its all-black appeal is a wonderful interpretation of the famed model. Displaying pure aesthetics, the lightweight titanium case not only provides a comfortable wrist presence but also a cool appeal. Offered in “like new” overall condition and complete with its full set of accessories, the present example from circa 2017 is a perfect choice for daily wear.
