The Santos Carrèe is one of Cartier's most iconic designs, first introduced in 1978 as part of the new Santos de Cartier range, this was Cartiers attempt at a sportier range inspired by the Genta designs of the time. This model donned a newly designed integrated bracelet for the very first time.
Amongst Santos Carrèes, the "ghost dial" variation is by far the most desirable. This example (ref. 2961) features a two-tone steel/18k yellow gold case and is in stunning condition.
