Cartier Santos Galbee (Ref. #187901) in stainless steel and 18K yellow gold bezel and bracelet accents. Sapphire blue cabochon crown, 7-Jewel Cartier quartz movement, parchment Roman dial with blued steel hands, date aperture at 6. What’s nice is that the instantly-recognizable, classic Cartier design of this Santos has not significantly changed over decades; thus difficult to distinguish this one from a new one on the wrist. Check for yourself at Cartier's website or at any Cartier boutique, and while there, check the current prices for the equivalent model (while you're sitting down).
Case width 32mm including crown guards x 40mm length including lugs. Original bracelet with factory-tight links and signed Cartier deployment clasp, currently sized for my 7-inch wrist. One additional Cartier bracelet link will be included. See wrist shot to get an excellent 'on-the-wrist' size perspective, and also a better appreciation of the true colour of the dial (the other pictures, because of the lighting, make the dial look darker than it really is).
This Cartier has seen very gentle wear and obvious care. Maintains quartz-accurate time with no known operational issues. Indeed, the watch underwent a complete factory service by Cartier in January of this year (2019). The service invoice, which will accompany the sale, describes the following service:
Watch appears essentially new on the wrist. Guaranteed 100% genuine. Cartier service pouch included.
$3,200 shipped, or nearest reasonable offer. Lowball offers will not be responded-to. Thanks for looking.
