Cartier - Cartier Santos Ronde St/G Ghost Grey Dial Ref. 8919, 1980's
Ghost Dial
Cartier has, predominantly in the 1980s and 1990s done a dial that we mainly see on Santos models, the brushed grey dial with gold print. The optical effect that this dial has is that the Cartier signature on the dial vanishes depending on the light fall on the dial. A very cool effect that is coveted by Cartier enthusiasts.
We have here a beautiful example of the Santos Ronde from the 1990s that features such a dial. the watch is in steel and gold and is manufactured in 32mm, a size that men embrace when wearing a Cartier.
The watch is overall in excellent condition and free of any major scratches visible to the naked eye. The bracelet is crisp and does not show major wear from age.
The watch is powered by a Quartz movement, hence the case has a super slim appearance. The facetted crown bears the iconic Sapphire Cabochon.
A very cool example that doesn't break the bank and looks great on any outfit.
