Cartier Santos Dumont XL Automatic WSSA0032 - 2022
Cartier Santos Dumont XL Automatic WSSA0032
Cartier has had a huge resurgence of late within the watch collector community, and with very good reason. Not only the originator of the wrist-watch as we know it today, their unfailing dedication to their own aesthetic makes them instantly recognisable, and are deserving of the respect and reverence they command.
Along with the Tank line, the Cartier Santos line is perhaps their most well known, with this iconic line being widely recognised as the birthplace of the wrist watch. Created at the request of early-Aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont by his friend Louis Cartier, not only was it the first wrist-watch, but also the first tool-watch.
The version we have here is the WSSA0032, the largest of the Automatic Santos Dumont series measuring in at 46.6mm x 33.9mm. This is a rectangular watch, so the 33.9mm tends to wear quite a bit larger than it’s on paper spec suggests. It features a stainless steel case, automatic movement, satin-finish sunray dial with Roman markers, and finished off with blued steel hands. Mounted on an elegant 'gator strap with tang buckle, it’s classic Cartier.
This particular was first sold locally in May 2022 and presents in TZ Good condition. Case and bezel show swirlies and surface scratches, and there's some marks on the rear of the lugs from strap changes and a very small ding on the left side of the case at about where the 7 marker would be, just under the bevel line. Please see images for full condition details.
Comes with outer box, inner box, instructions, Cartier Care booklet, warranty card dated May 2022, Cartier tool and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
RRP is $8,650, save big on this 2022 example.
