Cartier Santos Galbee 2319 SIHH Edition
Description
This is the Cartier Santos Galbee reference 2319. The origins of the Santos began in 1904, when Louis Cartier’s good friend, Alberto Santos-Dumont, wanted a wristwatch to accompany him while he was flying due to the impracticalities of the pocket watch. In 1906, Alberto Santos Dumont was the first ever person filmed in a flight sporting the iconic Cartier watch that was designed by Louis Cartier and the rest, as they say, is history. Among the many Cartier timepieces, the Santos is arguably their most recognizable model alongside the Tank.
Throughout the years since the first inception of the original Santos, there have been several iterations of the iconic model. The aforementioned Santos Galbee was introduced in 1987. Lightly curved to fit comfortably on the wrist, the nomenclature of “Galbee” meant curved in the French language. Commercial success of this model was further enhanced by its appearance in the movie Wall Street, where main character Michael Douglas aka Gordon Gekko sported a gold Galbee.
In addition, this variation was released in SIHH 2002 as a limited edition and is highly distinct with the sunburst grey dial without the date window. Though there have been many variants of the Santos Galbee across the lifespan of the model, this particular one is highly sought after given how few appear for sale at any given time.
Condition
This Cartier Santos Galbee 2319 is in overall good condition. The bracelet remains in excellent condition with minimal signs of wear. It has 7 removable links and will fit a wrist of up to 6.5”. The caseback engravings are still clear with notable hairlines on the bezel from prior wear. There are no dings or dents on the case. The watch is in full working order.
