An attractive neovintage Cartier Santos-Dumont reference 96053, easy to wear for its ultra-thin profile. The classic 18k yellow gold brushed case is contrasted by a high-polished bezel secured with signature rivets, a hallmark of the enduring Cartier design.

It features a white Roman “Paris” dial that has developed faint spidering with age, complemented by elegant blued hands. The blue cabochon-set crown completes the look, while the watch is powered by a Frédéric Piguet caliber 21 manual-wind movement.

The piece is fitted with a shiny black crocodile strap that lends a dressy presence, secured by a Cartier-plated tang buckle. Drawn from one of Cartier’s historic designs, the Santos-Dumont remains a long-standing classic and one of the most elegant interpretations of the form.
