Cartier Santos 2960
The Cartier Santos Ref. 2960 in 18k yellow gold is a bold and timeless expression of one of the most iconic designs in watchmaking. Measuring 29 mm, the square case with exposed screws frames a white dial with Roman numerals, offering immediate recognizability and balance. Powered by an automatic movement and fitted with a yellow-gold bracelet featuring flat links, this piece combines everyday wearability with unmistakable presence.
Excellent vintage condition with minor wear
Originally conceived in 1904, the Santos is widely regarded as one of the first purpose-built wristwatches, created to meet the needs of early aviators. By the 1990s, references such as the 2960 carried this legacy forward, refining the design while preserving its defining elements: the geometric case, visible screws, and integrated bracelet construction.
The full yellow-gold execution elevates the Santos from a utilitarian origin into a statement of luxury, while the flat-link bracelet enhances both comfort and visual continuity. As automatic Santos models from this era become increasingly sought after, the 2960 stands out for its balance of heritage and wearability- a watch that remains as relevant today as it was at its inception.
