Overview
The Cartier Santos de Cartier WGSA0029 is a bold expression of timeless luxury, crafted entirely from 18k yellow gold and weighing an impressive 139.73 grams. Measuring 39.8mm, the case features Cartier’s hallmark screws on the bezel, framing a silvered opaline dial with classic black Roman numerals and blued steel sword hands. Driven by the in-house Caliber 1847 MC automatic movement, this model is offered on a matching yellow gold bracelet with folding clasp, along with an additional brown leather strap with a second yellow gold folding clasp. The result is a substantial yet versatile timepiece that embodies Cartier’s enduring elegance and craftsmanship.

Collector Insight
The Santos holds a special place in horological history as one of the very first wristwatches, originally created in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. This modern reference stays true to that legacy while embracing Cartier’s refined codes of design and luxury. Collectors gravitate toward the full yellow gold version for its unmistakable presence and weight, making it a true statement piece within the Santos collection. The combination of unworn condition, dual strap set, and active warranty makes this a highly attractive acquisition for enthusiasts seeking both heritage and exclusivity.
