A refined Ladies Cartier Santos Carrée sold with box, service history and spare links, two-tone case and iconic screw design - c.2000

The Cartier Santos, introduced in 1904, is one of the earliest wristwatches designed for practical everyday use. Created by Louis Cartier for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, it allowed him to check the time while flying without using a pocket watch. Its square case and exposed screws became instantly recognisable design features. The Santos helped popularise wristwatches for men and remains one of Cartier’s most iconic and enduring models today.

What's on Offer

This Cartier Santos Carrée is a beautifully proportioned example of one of the most recognisable watch designs ever created. With its signature square case, exposed screws and integrated bracelet, it carries an unmistakable presence—effortlessly blending elegance with a slightly industrial edge.

The grey "GHOST" dial features a subtle finish, adding depth and interest while maintaining a refined, understated look. It pairs beautifully with the warmth of the gold accents against the stainless steel case and bracelet, creating a balanced two-tone aesthetic that works just as well dressed up as it does day-to-day.

The watch is presented in excellent condition overall, with minimal signs of wear since it was last serviced at Cartier by the previous owner, and adding to its authenticity. It is accompanied by its original box, service history and spare links, offering both confidence and collectability.

On the wrist, it wears comfortably and discreetly, with a refined profile that suits a wide range of styles. Powered by an automatic movement, it delivers both convenience and reliability.

A timeless design with enduring appeal, this Santos Carrée is a superb example for those elegant ladies looking to own a true icon of watchmaking.
