Cartier Santos Galbée cream dial blue numerals, early 1990s

Dealer description — Bulang & Sons

As you might know, the Cartier Santos is a timeless classic. As Cartier's very first wristwatch, it's one of the brand's most enduring designs. Known for its square shape with broad flanks and lugs, and its distinctive visible screws, the Santos received a fresh update in the late 1980s with the “Galbée” model. This version offers a more curved and smooth case, providing a better fit on the wrist than the original. Today, we have a Cartier Santos Galbée featuring a charming cream dial with rare blue numerals. The 29 x 41 mm case is in excellent condition, and it includes a semi-integrated bracelet that fits wrists up to 18 cm. The cream dial highlights blue Roman numerals, elegant blued hands, and a date function at 6 o’clock, along with the signature hidden "Cartier" mark at the 7 o’clock numeral. This watch is powered by a quartz movement, which has been fully checked by our watchmaker and fitted with a new battery. Additionally, this piece comes as a complete set, featuring its inner and outer boxes, a guarantee certificate indicating a sale in 1992, the certificate holder, and two booklets. Don't miss out on adding this piece of watchmaking history to your collection. Contact us today to make this iconic Cartier Santos Galbée yours!
