Cartier Santos Carrée 2960 Steel White Dial - Box & Papers - 1984

An unpolished 1984 Cartier Santos Carrée reference 2960 in stainless steel — an honest, untouched example of the watch that effectively launched the modern integrated-bracelet sport-luxury category in 1978. Born from Louis Cartier's 1904 wristwatch for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the squared Carrée silhouette with its exposed bezel screws remains one of the most recognisable shapes in 20th-century watchmaking.

This piece carries the original white dial with black Roman numerals, the signature railroad minute track, blued sword hands, and a date aperture at 3 o'clock. The blue cabochon crown is intact, the case retains its sharp factory chamfers and crisp screw heads, and the integrated steel bracelet runs full length. Powered by an automatic movement, it sits in supplied condition — never polished, showing only honest wear from four decades on the wrist.

Comes complete with the original Cartier box, papers, and manual.
