Cartier Santos De Cartier ADLC Large Automatic WSSA0039 - 2021
Cartier Santos De Cartier ADLC Large Automatic WSSA0039
Cartier has had a huge resurgence of late within the watch collector community, and with very good reason. Not only the originator of the wrist-watch as we know it today, their unfailing dedication to their own aesthetic makes them instantly recognisable, and are deserving of the respect and reverence they command.
Along with the Tank line, the Cartier Santos line is perhaps their most well known, with this iconic line being widely recognised as the birthplace of the wrist watch. Created at the request of early-Aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont by his friend Louis Cartier, not only was it the first wrist-watch, but also the first tool-watch.
The version we have here is the WSSA0039, perhaps the sportiest of the Santos series, and certainly one of the coolest. The case is in steel, and the coated in ADLC to achieve it's blackened finish, and measures in at 39.8mm wide by just 9.38mm thick, with 100m of water resistance. This is a rectangular watch, so the 39.8mm tends to wear quite a bit larger than it’s on paper spec suggests. It houses a black dial with discreet date at 6, black steel sword-shaped hands with luminescent material, and is topped with sapphire crystal. It is mounted on an elegant 'gator strap with deployant buckle, and also includes a Cartier rubber. Both feature Cartier's quick change strap system for easy changes.
This particular was first sold locally in May 2021 and presents in TZ Good condition. Case and bezel are in very good condition overall, with a small scratch on the bezel between 12 and 1, and a scraper on the lower right lug/bevel line being the largest sign of wear. The sides of the case are excellent, with a few very small marks present. Please see images for full condition details.
Currently mounted to the 'gator strap on deployant which is in excellent condition. Some small fingernail marks are present due to the nature of operation of the quick release system. Few desk diving marks on the buckle.
Comes with outer box, inner box, warranty card dated May 2021, Cartier tool, original receipt and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
RRP is $13,100, save big on this 2021 example.
