The Cartier Santos Carrée Ref. 2960, affectionately known as the “or massif,” is a bold and luxurious take on Cartier’s legendary square watch design from the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Crafted entirely from solid 18k yellow gold, the watch makes a powerful statement with its substantial case, visible screws, and integrated bracelet. Measuring a balanced size, the 2960 features an automatic movement housed within a slim yet robust case. The dial is quintessential Cartier, with elegant Roman numerals, a chemin de fer minute track, and signature blued sword hands. The Santos Carrée Ref. 2960 blends timeless design with impressive craftsmanship and presence, making it a highly sought-after vintage piece that embodies Cartier’s mastery of marrying jewelry elegance with functional watchmaking.

This very example is in good condition, it has been lightly polished in the past but kept its distinctive sharp bevels and edges!
