Cartier Santos Dumont XL Stainless Steel & 18K Rose Gold Watch W2SA0017 | B&P

The Cartier Santos-Dumont XL Ref. W2SA0017 is a refined interpretation of one of Cartier's most recognisable watch designs, combining a stainless steel case with an elegant 18ct rose gold bezel. Its distinctive rectangular profile measures 46.6mm x 33.9mm, while the slim 7.5mm case gives the watch a sophisticated presence on the wrist. The silvered sunray-effect dial is complemented by classic Roman numerals and Cartier's signature blued-steel sword-shaped hands, creating a timeless and understated aesthetic.

Inside, the Santos-Dumont is powered by Cartier's Manufacture Calibre 430 MC, a hand-wound mechanical movement offering approximately 38 hours of power reserve. The watch features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a beaded stainless steel crown set with a blue synthetic spinel cabochon. Completing the design is a black alligator-skin strap with a stainless steel ardillon buckle, while the watch provides water resistance to approximately 30 metres.

The W2SA0017 captures the distinctive elegance and aviation heritage of the Santos-Dumont collection while offering a sophisticated two-tone finish. This 2025 example is supplied with box and papers, making it an appealing choice for collectors seeking a distinctive Cartier dress watch with a beautifully proportioned case, manual-winding movement and unmistakable Santos-Dumont styling.
