Some watches are icons because they were worn by icons, while others earn their place in history by pushing the...boundaries of watchmaking. The Cartier Santos is both. First introduced in 1904, the watch was developed for pioneering aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. It was one of the first wristwatches designed for practical everyday use, and it’s stayed true to that mission for over a century.
The modern Santos, re-introduced in 2018, renewed appreciation for the collection, becoming an instant classic. This model balances historic legacy with an elevated twist. The industrial feeling from the square case with exposed screws is instantly recognizable, but the rose gold feels warm and more refined. The silvered opaline dial with Roman numerals and blued steel hands keeps the classic aesthetic grounded in Cartier’s design language.
Inside this Santos is Cartier’s in-house Calibre 1847 MC, offering everyday reliability with the smoothness of a self-winding movement. The watch is paired with a full rose gold bracelet, beautifully finished and equipped with Cartier’s SmartLink system for tool-free sizing adjustments and a quick release to switch back and forth from a bracelet to a strap. It’s simple, intuitive, and a reminder that this is a luxury watch made to be worn and not stored.
This Santos de Cartier checks all the right boxes: timeless design, daily wearability, and a real presence on the wrist. The Santos in rose gold isn’t about being flashy, it’s about owning a piece of horological history that still feels fresh, relevant, and unmistakably Cartier.

To qualify as a Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned, a watch must meet superior standards of quality. Our 30+ master watchmakers perform a comprehensive 30-point inspection on every single timepiece that comes through our doors to verify that every watch part is authentic and functions within original factory specifications.
Fully Serviced
Every Bucherer Certified Authentic Pre-Owned watch is guaranteed to function within its original factory specifications. Each watch goes through a careful restoration process conducted by one of our master watchmakers. Our restoration process begins with a full movement service and overhaul if necessary to inspect each and every piece of the movement. Next, each piece is cleaned, lubricated and put back together. Any worn or broken parts are replaced using only original manufacture parts to maintain authenticity. The restoration process includes expert cleaning and polishing, testing of water pressure and magnetization and the replacement of straps.
