The Reference

Examined to the movement.

The Cartier Santos de Cartier Large WSSA0037 is the silvered opaline dial expression of Cartier's flagship 40mm stainless steel Santos, the reference that anchors the contemporary Santos collection alongside the green and blue dialed variants. The Santos lineage traces directly to the original 1904 aviator's wristwatch Louis Cartier designed for Alberto Santos-Dumont, and across more than a century has preserved the defining square case silhouette, the exposed bezel screws, and the integrated link bracelet that distinguish the model within the modern collecting canon. The 39.8mm stainless steel case is paired with the matching SmartLink-equipped steel bracelet, which allows the wearer to remove or add links by hand using the patented adjustment system, while the QuickSwitch interface allows the bracelet itself to be swapped for an included leather strap without tools. The silvered opaline dial features painted Roman numerals, polished steel sword-shaped hands, and the secret "Cartier" signature woven into the dial's geometry. Powered by the Cartier Manufacture Caliber 1847 MC self-winding movement, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 42-hour power reserve, water resistant to 100 meters. The seven-sided beaded crown is set with a faceted synthetic spinel. Pre-owned.

I can't tell you how happy I am with Michael and the team at Palazzo Watches. I've been looking for a specific, very rare AP for a long time. Michael found one and worked with me every step of the way to get it into my hands. He was incredibly professional and accommodated every request and need I had. 10/10, will definitely be back for more.

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Offer honest opinions and recommendations because they truly want you to find the right watch, not just make a sale. The office has an amazing view! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a watch and a first-class experience.

I found my go to place to purchase luxury watches!! Mak and Michael were very professional, transparent, helpful, genuine and kind to me. They made the process of buying my first Rolex very easy. All their watches are authenticated with paperwork and box provided. Mak and Michael were very knowledgeable about each watch and answered all my questions to the fullest extent. I would 100% recommend anybody who is looking for their first or next piece in their collection to come here and purchase a watch.
