Cartier Santos Carree 2961 Grey
Description
This is the Cartier Santos Carree 2961. The story of the Cartier Santos is well told, that Louis Cartier designed a wristwatch for his friend, Alberto Santos-Dumont. Throughout the years since the first inception of the Santos, there have been many iterations of the iconic model. This reference was first introduced in 1978 as the Santos de Cartier. Replacing the traditional leather band with an integrated bracelet, Cartier manufactured a timepiece with a perfect blend of class and utility. The steel bracelet gives an industrial look to the Santos and the gold accents add a touch of luxury. With the inverse screws on the case, it was something bold and fresh from the maison. This particular reference is the 2961 and comes in a bimetal design with a case size of 29mm and a date window at the 3 o’clock. It is also a rarer variant of the reference with the grey dial. It comes with the older style fold clasp with the open steel clasp stamped Cartier.
Condition
This Cartier 2961 is in very good pre-owned condition. There are hairlines on the yellow gold bezel from prior wear consistent with its age. The case itself is in very good condition with no significant scratches or dings. Both the dial and crystal are clean and the serial is still very visible on the caseback. The bracelet has some light hairlines from prior wear and will fit a wrist of up to 6.75”.
