For sale is a 2023 Cartier Santos de Cartier, Large Model, reference W2SA0009 (4072) — in two-tone 18K yellow gold and stainless steel, including the original box and papers.
The Santos is one of the most historically significant watches ever made — originally created in 1904 for the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, it is widely regarded as the first purpose-built wristwatch. This modern Large Model stays faithful to that heritage with its iconic squared case, exposed bezel screws, and Roman numeral dial.
This reference features a 40mm stainless steel case framed by an 18K yellow gold bezel with the signature visible screws, a silvered opaline dial with blued-steel sword-shaped hands, black Roman numerals, and a date display at 6 o'clock. It is powered by Cartier's in-house caliber 1847 MC automatic movement and mounted on the two-tone 18K yellow gold and steel bracelet with Cartier's SmartLink adjustment system and folding clasp. The bracelet is complete with all links.
The watch is in very good condition, showing minimal signs of wear consistent with careful previous ownership. Condition is subjective — the photos are the most accurate representation of this item, so please review them carefully before purchasing.
