An exceptional and highly collectible Cartier Santos Carrée Ref. 2960, presented as a full set from 1986 and featuring the incredibly rare Grey Ghost "Swiss"-only dial. Original, untouched examples such as this are among the most desirable Santos Carrée watches ever produced and are seldom seen on the market.
The mesmerizing brushed grey Ghost dial displays beautiful depth, with elegant gold "Cartier" and "Swiss" text. Unlike later Cartier service replacement dials signed "Swiss Made", this watch retains its original factory "Swiss"-onlydial, making it especially sought after by collectors.
The stainless steel case remains in excellent condition and is fitted with its original first-generation Santos bracelet, measuring approximately 17.5–18 cm. Additional links can easily be sourced and fitted if required. The watch is completed by steel hands, a flawless blue sapphire cabochon crown, and a spotless sapphire crystal.
Powering the watch is the reliable Cartier Calibre 077 automatic movement, running excellently and ready to be enjoyed.
Accompanying the watch are its original Cartier presentation box, warranty papers, certificate, and documentation, all dating to 1986.
