Description:

This is the Cartier Santos Galbee 2961. The story of the Cartier Santos is well told, that Louis Cartier designed a wristwatch for his friend, Alberto Santos-Dumont. Throughout the years since the first inception of the Santos, there have been many iterations of the iconic model. Fast forward to 1987 when the Santos Galbee line was introduced. It was lightly curved to fit comfortably on the wrist as seen in the nomenclature given that “Galbee” means curved in French. Commercial success of the Santos Galbee was further enhanced by its appearance in the movie Wall Street, where Michael Douglas aka Gordon Gekko sported a full gold Santos Galbee. This particular example is the reference 2319. It was released in SIHH 2002 as a limited edition of 2,000 pieces and is often regarded as one of the best looking variants of the Santos Dumont with its grey guilloche dial and without a date window. Though there are many variants of the Santos Galbee available in the grey market, this LE rarely comes for sale.
