The Cartier Santos Galbée ref. 187901 in gold and steel perfectly embodies the Maison’s mastery of blending elegance and innovation. As a refined iteration of the original 1904 Santos—created for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont—this version from the late 20th century introduces a more ergonomic, curved case ("Galbée") while maintaining the unmistakable Cartier DNA.
Crafted in a harmonious combination of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, the 29x41mm case and bracelet showcase the iconic exposed screws on both bezel and links—a bold yet balanced design element that has become synonymous with the Santos line. The silvered dial features crisp Roman numerals, a chemin-de-fer minute track, and elegant blued steel sword hands, all under a sapphire crystal. A Cartier quartz movement powers the watch with precision and low-maintenance convenience.
The two-tone aesthetic adds a luxurious warmth to its refined silhouette, making it versatile enough for both casual and formal wear. Unisex in spirit and timeless in style, the Santos Galbée 187901 stands as a symbol of Cartier’s enduring legacy in luxury watchmaking.
Our Galbée is in awesome conditions and ready to rock.
