The Cartier Santos Octagon that arrived today is a highly popular vintage model in our store.
Its superb design and high practicality make it truly an outstanding watch.
Introduced around 1979 as Cartier's first watch made with stainless steel, the Santos Octagon
saw quartz models added to the lineup around 1986,
and there was a period when quartz and automatic models were sold together.
The quartz model features an ivory dial and a date function,
making it even more practical than the no-date automatic model.
There is no major difference in appearance between the quartz and automatic models,
but all-stainless steel quartz models were not produced,
making the two-tone model the most basic item.
The historical context of the 1980s and the preference for glamorous products at the time
allow us to learn what kinds of watches were popular in each era of vintage watches.
The watch details also have distinctive features,
such as the double C logo found on the buckles of that era and the cursive lettering on the clasps,
and you will surely find it interesting to discover the differences from current models.
The beauty of the two-tone material adds elegance to your wrist,
and the 18-karat yellow gold feels as though it blends more with your skin with each passing year.
The glamour of the two-tone material and the soft impression of the ivory dial
further enhance the appeal of a watch that requires no unnecessary decoration.
For this sale, we have had Cartier perform a complete service,
and the movement has been replaced with one that meets current standards, so you can rest assured about maintenance.
We have thoroughly serviced it so that this wonderful watch can be used for many years to come,
making it the ideal choice for anyone looking for one.
This is a rare item whose price has soared along with its growing popularity.
Do not miss this opportunity!
