The Cartier Santos-Dumont Small Model, ref. WSSA0023, is a refined interpretation of one of the most emblematic designs in Cartier's watchmaking heritage. This example is accompanied by its Cartier presentation box and documentation dated 2020 and is offered in excellent overall condition.
The origins of the Santos collection date back to 1904, when Louis Cartier created a wristwatch for Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, establishing a distinctive design that would become one of the most recognizable in watchmaking history.
The stainless steel case measures 27.5 × 38 mm, with a remarkably slim profile of just 7.3 mm. Its characteristic square shape with softly rounded corners, polished bezel featuring eight exposed screws and beaded crown adorned with a blue cabochon reflect the unmistakable Cartier aesthetic.
The silvered sunray-brushed dial features bold black Roman numerals, a chemin de fer minute track and traditional blued-steel sword-shaped hands, creating a harmonious balance between classical elegance and distinctive design.
The model is powered by Cartier's high-autonomy quartz movement, designed to provide an approximate battery life of six years.
Fitted with a black leather strap featuring an alligator-style pattern, the Santos-Dumont combines discreet proportions with excellent versatility and understated sophistication.
Presented in excellent condition and accompanied by its Cartier presentation box and International Warranty, this example offers an appealing combination of historical significance, elegant proportions and enduring Cartier style.
