About this watch
Cartier Santos de Cartier Watch - 39.8 mm Pink Gold Case - Skeleton Dial - Alligator And In Calfskin Strap - WHSA0018
Within Cartier's contemporary Santos lineup, the 39.8mm pink gold skeleton variant stands as one of the most mechanically expressive iterations of aviation's most celebrated wristwatch design. The WHSA0018 reference showcases Cartier's openworked dial construction against the warm backdrop of 18k pink gold, creating a compelling juxtaposition between industrial transparency and precious metal refinement. This unworn example represents the Santos collection's modern interpretation of Alberto Santos-Dumont's original 1904 commission, now elevated through contemporary manufacturing techniques that reveal the mechanical poetry typically hidden beneath traditional dial constructions.

“I recently purchased my dream car from Brett. If you're looking at a car in his inventory, rest assured you're getting a quality vehicle. His transparency throughout the process is top tier.”
“Just purchased an F430 from Brett. The car was immaculate as shown in the pictures and the video walkaround! Transaction was easy… it was in my garage in two weeks.”
