CARTIER SANTOS OCTAGON Ladies Watch, Automatic - Stainless Steel & 18K Gold
Gorgeous Condition - Fully Cartier & Serviced - 1 Year Warranty



Gorgeous Condition - Fully Cartier - 1 Year Warranty

The Octagon is a seldom seen watch in the Santos line and is one of the affordable distinctive luxury watches. It is beautifully styled and its eight-sided bezel is suggestive of the iconic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.

This ladies Octagon features a stainless steel case with 18K bezel, classic white Roman dial with blue steel "epee" hands, sapphire topped crown, and mechanical movement.

Unlike the quartz version of the Santos, this more desirable mechanical example possesses an automatic movement and in a way showcases the timeless art of traditional watch making.

The watch presents in gorgeous condition - it presents as about a 9.5 out 10. On the wrist it presents as very close to like new. It has just been fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
