Cartier Santos Lady Galbée Gold & Steel - c. 1990

The legendary Santos with a twist !

Description

When we talk about Cartier watchmaking, we think about the Santos model. The first wristwatch launched by Cartier at the beginning of the 20th century, the Santos was a small revolution: a watch on the wrist, a square watch with clearly defined edges, visible studs to hold and secure the glass. An Art Deco style that never ceases to please and which is today a real must-have for any watch lover.

In its galbée version, here the reference 1567, its case is slightly curved, which makes it particularly comfortable on the wrist. It sits on it and fits its shape.

In theory rather sporty with its integrated steel bracelet, this Cartier Santos remains elegant with its smaller dimensions, its traditional Cartier dial with Roman numerals on a white background and the presence of the yellow gold bezel.

Why did Françoise choose it?

This Cartier Santos is truly perfect for daily wear. This is the most common version, where gold mixes with steel. A watch that goes easily for every day. It is an essential model in the Cartier repertoire. It is emblematic, both from a historical and stylistic point of view. A pleasant, practical and discreet piece.

Of all the Santos watches Françoise has had the chance to wear, the Galbée Lady wins hands down in the comfort competition! Its slightly curved caseback and small size fit perfectly on the wrist. If it weren't a Cartier, you might end up forgetting you were wearing it!
