Lot Essay

The approximate total diamond weight is 1.85 cts.

Louis Cartier created the Santos watch in 1904, sealing his friendship with the aviator of the same name. The famous aviator's wish was granted: he could check the time while flying. The rounded angles and exposed screws of the dial made this model an iconic timepiece. The century of the watch was celebrated with a special Anniversary 1904-2004 Edition.
