Unlike the quartz version of the Santos, this more desirable mechanical example possesses an automatic movement and in a way showcases the timeless art of traditional watchmaking.
It has the essential Santos characteristics that make it easily recognized - silver Roman dial, screwed down bezel, Santos bracelet, blued steel sword hands, and sapphire topped crown.
The watch presents in gorgeous condition - it presents about a 9.8 out of 10. On the wrist it presents as virtually like new and the bracelet has virtually no stretch at all.
Our watchmaker has just fully disassembled the watch down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled its Cartier movement and replaced the waterproofing seals with new genuine Cartier gaskets. It is keeping very accurate time, maintaining chronometer grade time in three testing positions..
For the finishing touch it has been meticulously detailed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Accompanying it is its Cartier box.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
