The "Cartier Santos Galbee," which arrived today, was created around 1979 and was Cartier's first wristwatch made of stainless steel.
This watch, also known as the Santos Calé, is considered rarer as all-stainless steel models are fewer in number than the two-tone material models.
The 1980s was a time of transition from the American market to the Japanese market.
With the times, flashy watches were becoming mainstream,
Many watches made from combination materials and solid gold were released, and stainless steel models entered an era that could be described as somewhat unpopular.
This was the time when battery-powered watches became mainstream, which was called the "Quartz Shock."
Battery-powered watches are better than mechanical watches, and luxury watches are better than stainless steel models.
It was during this time that Santos Galbe (Santoscare) was born.
Like the representative luxury sports models Nautilus, Royal Oak, and Credor Locomotive,
The design of the watch and bracelet being one piece is typical of the time.
The Santos lineage has evolved even further thanks to the dial design that is characteristic of Cartier.
At that time, even Rolex sports models were not as highly regarded as they are today,
It could be said that this watch was way ahead of its time.
As time passed, the Rolex sports model boom began in the 1990s.
Around the 2000s, a genre called "deka-atsu" was established.
Since the 2010s, the reputation of luxury sports models has increased dramatically.
Taking advantage of this, Santos' reputation also became very high.
However, when you consider its practicality and good design, it seems like it's been a while since it was recognized.
It uses an extremely high-quality general-purpose movement, and depending on how well the exterior is maintained, it can be less expensive than a Rolex.
In addition, the manufacturer also provides repair services.
In fact, I think it deserves a higher rating as a watch.
This particular watch has cracks on the dial, which are common in Cartier products.
Due to fading serial numbers, the price is significantly lower than the market price.
If it's in good condition, would the selling price be around 1,200,000 yen?
The purchase price was low and the maintenance costs were surprisingly low, so the selling price is as follows:
