+ Cartier Vintage 1998 Santos Dumont Mini 18-karat Gold Watch, Ref. 1577 (7" Wrist)

Originally designed for the Brazilian aviator Alberto 'Santos-Dumont' in 1904, Cartier's watch of the same name remains one of horology’s most enduring styles. Part of the inaugural Collection Privée Cartier Paris, this 1998 mini iteration preserves the original architecture, its 18-karat gold case framed by the exposed screws and set against a black leather strap with an ardillon buckle.
