Cartier Santos 2319 - Stainless Steel Roman Guilloche Dial

Trade In
Details
A Cleaner Take On A Classic
The Cartier Santos is a foundational watch, not just for the brand, but for the entire concept of the modern wristwatch. The reference 2319 from the 1990s carries this legacy forward with an automatic movement and the iconic integrated bracelet. What sets this example apart is its dial configuration. Instead of the more common painted numerals that interrupt the central pattern, this version features printed Romans, allowing the guilloche finish to extend across the entire dial surface. It is a subtle but significant variation that gives the watch a cleaner, more sophisticated presence.
The Power Of A Printed Dial
This execution reframes the Santos. The uninterrupted guilloche field creates a sense of depth and texture that is often broken up on the standard model. The printed numerals feel more deliberate and refined, shifting the watch's character from a sporty tool to something more elegant. Paired with the all-stainless steel construction and the practical automatic movement, this configuration offers the best of both worlds. It is a durable, everyday watch with a dial that rewards closer inspection.
An Excellent And Honest Example
This example is in excellent condition. The stainless steel case retains its sharp lines and the finish on the iconic screwed bezel is well-defined. The integrated stainless steel bracelet is in equally strong shape, showing minimal signs of wear. The dial, the centerpiece of this watch, is clean and the guilloche is crisp. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Thinking Collector's Santos
This watch is for the person who understands the history of the Santos but wants a version with a less common, more refined aesthetic. It is immediately recognizable for its shape, yet the specific dial execution makes it stand out from the crowd. The case size is perfectly balanced for a modern wrist, offering significant presence without being oversized. It is a classic design, subtly elevated.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
