The present lot is a nice representative of Cartier Santos family, whose first example was produced in 1914. Over the year this model has been produced in many metals and finishes making it a very appreciated creation by the Parisian brand. The here offered reference 2797 comes with a solid square platinum two body case fitted with a smooth bezel, recessed sapphire-set winding crown and a case back secured with 8 screws in extremely fresh conditions. The dial hasn’t the classical color that you find on the usual Cartier models, in fact, it comes with an unusual black color with white outer radial Roman numerals and inner track for minutes, sword-shaped hands and secret Cartier signature on the VII. The watch is topped by a water resistance of 30 meters and over 40 hours of power reserve and is completed by an 18k white-gold clasp, and its original box, papers and invoice.
