Cartier Santos Dumont 1575 "Platine"
Description
This is the Cartier Santos-Dumont. For most, Cartier is a jewellery brand. Yet for the discerning watch collector who understands the history of wristwatches, Louis Cartier is often credited as the one who popularized the first men’s wristwatch. This all began in 1904, when Louis Cartier’s good friend, Alberto Santos-Dumont, wanted a wristwatch to accompany him as he was flying, citing that the pocketwatch was impractical. In 1906, Alberto Santos Dumont was the first ever person filmed in a flight sporting the iconic Cartier watch that was designed by Louis Cartier and the rest, as they say, is history. Through all their innovations, the shape of the Santos remains evergreen and represents the brand as one of their flagship watches. This fine timepiece comes with the orignal strap and buckle and is a vintage Santos-Dumont that has seen popularity rise among the vintage collectibles in recent times. The Cartier Santos Dumont 1575 Ultra Thin is among the most popular within the Santos Dumont lineup and runs on a ultra thin Frederic Piguet Movement. Furthermore, this one comes encased in platinum, the rarest of all precious metals used by Cartier, and also comes with a full set of box and warranty papers. Other than the most loyal fans of the house of Cartier, the meteoric rise of the 1575’s popularity has taken many by surprise.
