Condition

This is a stunning and highly versatile vintage Cartier Santos Vendôme, dating from the early 1980s, beautifully combining stainless steel case and bracelet with solid 18ct yellow gold bezel, screws and a signed Cartier clasp. The highly sought-after grey "Ghost" dial features a minimalist look with just gold sword-shaped hands and a Cartier signature that appear to fade away in certain light and angles. Powered by its original Cartier quartz movement, the watch is in fantastic vintage condition and keeping excellent time, comfortably within the expected specification for a vintage quartz movement.
