Santos de Cartier Large Steel

Cartier Santos de Cartier Large Steel
Ref. WSSA0018

The Santos de Cartier — arguably the first purpose-built wristwatch, designed by Louis Cartier for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904 — continues as one of the strongest-selling models in the current Cartier lineup. The WSSA0018 is the large 39.8mm stainless steel configuration with a silver dial and the QuickSwitch strap-change system allowing the owner to alternate between the steel bracelet and a leather strap in seconds without tools. A watch that is simultaneously a piece of horological history and a contemporary daily driver. Excellent condition with full Cartier set from 2023.

This piece is available for immediate purchase at Iron Eagle Reserve, located at 174 E Flagler St in Downtown Miami. We are open Monday through Saturday, 9AM–8PM. No appointment is required to view or purchase any watch in The Vault. All transactions can be completed in cash or by wire transfer on the same visit.
