The Cartier Santos Ref. 2823 exemplifies Cartier’s ability to blend classic design with contemporary functionality. Introduced in the 1990s as part of the Santos de Cartier collection, this model builds upon the heritage of the original Santos. Crafted in steel and 18k yellow gold, the Ref. 2823 is larger than the more compact Santos Galbée models, offering a more substantial presence on the wrist. The square case with gently rounded edges retains its iconic shape, while its increased size adds a contemporary feel without losing the signature elegance of the Santos design. The white dial features Roman numerals, blue steel hands, and the exposed screws on the bezel. Powered by a self-winding mechanical movement, the Ref. 2823 offers both precision and reliability.

This very example is in amazing condition and appears to be only very lightly polished with the original finish definitely intact. It’s accompanied by the original box and papers.
