Model: Santos Dumont
Movement: Jaeger-LeCoultre 2512-1
Circa: 1970
Case: 20mm
Case Material: 18K yellow gold
Dial Color: White
This exquisite Cartier Santos Dumont ladies' watch is distinguished by its rare Paris-signed dial, preserved in original condition, a detail that sets it apart from the majority of Cartier watches, which were made Swiss-made. The “Paris” mark at the 6 o'clock position indicates the watch was produced specifically for one of Cartier’s Paris boutiques, likely the iconic Place Vendôme, reflecting the refined origins of this remarkable timepiece. Over time, many original Paris dials in vintage Santos Dumont models were replaced with Cartier service dials marked “Swiss Made,” making examples such as this exceedingly desirable.
The case is crafted in 18K yellow gold, perfectly accentuating the geometric elegance of the classic Santos Dumont design. Its white dial is enhanced by dramatic Roman numeral hour markers laid out in a radial fashion, a bold and instantly recognizable signature of Cartier. The watch comes complete with its black leather strap.
This wristwatch is powered by the Jaeger-LeCoultre 2512-1 caliber, the movement behind many of the finest high-end Cartier ladies’ watches of the 1970s and 1980s. Cartier referred to this movement as “extra plat”, highlighting its extreme thinness. This high-grade caliber reflects Cartier’s mastery of technical precision while maintaining the brand’s sophisticated aesthetic, exemplifying the most refined vintage Santos Dumont ladies’ watches.
In 1904, Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont asked Louis Cartier to create a practical wristwatch, as pocket watches proved unreliable while flying. Cartier designed a flat, square-bezeled watch that became the first Santos, initially a one-off but quickly popular, leading to its official release as a mass-produced model in 1911. Characterized by its square case, screw-set or screw-mimicking bezel inspired by the Eiffel Tower and white dial with radial black Roman numerals, the Santos has remained a hallmark of Cartier’s design.
