Cartier Santos Galbée 187901 29mm x 41mm (1990 – 2000)

The Cartier Santos Galbée ref. 187901 is a classic bi-metal wristwatch blending timeless Cartier design with understated elegance. Its rectangular/tonneau-ish case (29 × 41 mm) is crafted from stainless steel and finished with an 18 k yellow-gold octagonal bezel secured by Cartier’s signature exposed screws — a hallmark of the Santos design. The dial is typically a silver/grey (or white, depending on variant) background with black Roman numerals and classic blued-steel “sword” hands, giving it a refined, dress-watch aesthetic. A discreet date window at 6 o’clock adds practicality without disturbing the clean dial layout. The integrated stainless-steel bracelet — also with yellow-gold screws — continues the two-tone motif, making the watch versatile enough for both daily wear and more formal occasions. Powered by a reliable quartz movement, the watch offers ease of maintenance and practicality alongside its heritage styling.

Please note, this watch comes with the original Cartier box and only service papers from the brand.
