An early model of the "Cartier Santos Galbee" arrived today.
The all-stainless steel models are very rare compared to the popular combination models.
It is now becoming one of the rarest vintage watch models.
This was Cartier's first watch made of stainless steel and was introduced into their lineup in 1979.
The elegant design, characteristic of Cartier, is based on practicality.
It must have been a sensational watch at the time.
At that time, there were watches made of combination materials that were more glamorous than stainless steel watches like today,
High-quality materials such as solid gold are more popular.
It seems that Santos produced far more combination models.
That's why stainless steel watches are becoming more popular these days.
This item is a rare model due to its limited availability.
There are no cracks on the dial, which are common in watches of that time, and the overall condition is very good.
I can't believe it's been more than 40 years since it was manufactured.
This is an attractive specimen that came in very good condition.
Because it is a popular model that many people are looking for,
Needless to say, this item will be sold out again this time.
While price hikes are inevitable,
The prices are set relatively affordable.
Because it is a truly fascinating watch,
I want as many people as possible to try it out.
To be honest, I don't make much money (laughs).
However, I want to stick to my own policy.
Even if we raise the price because it is a rare item, it may have a negative impact on the future, so
I wanted to do the best I could.
All I can say is... hurry up!
