Originally designed for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904, it established a design language that endures to this day. This solid gold example from 1979 captures the model's transition into the premier luxury sports watch of its era. The octagonal bezel is a distinct and elegant variation on the classic square, creating a softer silhouette that works perfectly in precious metal.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Complete Set From A Key Era\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhat elevates this particular Santos is its completeness and its material presence. The watch is rendered in solid yellow gold, giving it the weight and feel that only a precious metal piece can offer. It is accompanied by its original papers and pamphlets, a detail that provides a direct link back to its point of sale in 1979. These period-correct documents are more than just accessories; they complete the story of the watch, presenting it as a time capsule from a pivotal moment in Cartier's history.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWell Preserved And Entirely Correct\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example is in very good overall condition. The classic white Roman numeral dial is excellent, with crisp printing and no signs of age. The case and integrated gold bracelet are both in very good shape, showing honest, minimal wear consistent with a watch of this era.
