We are delighted to offer this iconic Cartier Santos Carrée Automatic, reference 2961, a distinguished timepiece. What makes this offering truly special is its completeness—a full set with box, papers, booklet, and warranty card.

Such a comprehensive and well-preserved set is a remarkable find, ideal for the discerning collector or anyone seeking a unique daily companion.
Design & Features
The Cartier Santos Carrée exudes timeless elegance, showcasing Cartier’s mastery of blending sophistication with modernity. The design features the signature 18K yellow gold bezel elegantly paired with a sharp-edged stainless steel case. The steel bracelet, complete with gold screws, includes a long strap length and two extra links, ensuring a perfect fit.
The dial is a perfect example of Cartier’s refined craftsmanship—a pristine white lacquer background with bold black Roman numerals and the discreet “Swiss” signature at the bottom. Enthusiasts will appreciate the hidden “Cartier” signature at the 7 o’clock position, a hallmark of authenticity. Completing the luxurious details is Cartier’s signature blue sapphire cabochon set into the crown.
Powering this timepiece is Cartier’s reliable automatic calibre 077, which has been serviced and inspected by our expert watchmaker to be in excellent working condition. The watch’s movement is a testament to Cartier’s dedication to precision and durability.
Provenance & Condition
This timepiece stands as both a remarkable example of Cartier’s design philosophy and a testament to its enduring quality.
