Cartier - Cartier Santos Carrée 2961 - Two Tone - Box
First released in the 70s, the Santos Carrée was Cartier's attempt to offer an accessible sport watch in both two tone (ref. 2961) and in steel (ref. 2960). At 29mm, the Carrée (square in French), case is perfectly sized to be the perfect blend of elegance and sporty. One might argue that today, more than ever, this model is the Rolex Datejust of Cartier. This piece remains in nice condition and just came back from a touch up and complete service so its ready to enjoy for years to come.
