The Cartier Santos De Cartier 39.8 mm Iced Out Arabic represents a contemporary reinterpretation of the iconic Santos de Cartier, taking the classic 1904 design to an ultra-luxurious register through full pavé setting and personalized Arabic numerals. This model combines the functionality and iconic geometric design of the Santos with an extraordinary high jewelry presence, where each gem-set surface enhances the piece.

Originally conceived by Louis Cartier for the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos is recognized by its square case with visible screws and its elegant integrated bracelet, symbols of aesthetic and functional modernity since the early 20th century.

Although Cartier offers gem-set versions of its Santos models in catalog, this specific configuration with pavé dial and Arabic numerals is not listed as an official reference marketed by the Maison, suggesting a high-level artisanal modification. The contrast between the continuous brilliance of the diamonds and the legibility of the Arabic numerals in black creates a distinctive visual reading and an identity of its own within the Santos collection.

In the description of the watches when it is marked "in running condition" it means that the watch is in working order.

We do not guarantee the perfect functioning of any watch. All photographs of our watches are original and have been taken by our photographers, that is to say, we do not work with stock photography and that is why the photographs are considered part of the cataloging.
