The Cartier Santos-Dumont Small Model reference WH100251 is a refined interpretation of one of the most historically significant wristwatches ever created. Inspired by the original Santos designed for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, this elegant timepiece embodies Cartier’s signature balance between technical heritage and timeless sophistication.
The small-size case, measuring approximately 38 mm x 27.5 mm, is crafted in 18K white gold, offering a discreet yet luxurious presence on the wrist. Its polished finish enhances the iconic square silhouette with softly rounded edges, while the beaded crown set with a blue sapphire cabochon reinforces Cartier’s unmistakable design language.
The dial features a silvered finish with classic black Roman numerals, a chemin-de-fer minute track, and blued steel sword-shaped hands, ensuring excellent legibility while preserving the watch’s elegant aesthetic. The clean layout highlights the timeless character of the Santos-Dumont collection.
This model is powered by a manual-winding mechanical movement, reflecting the traditional watchmaking spirit of the Santos-Dumont line. The movement delivers reliable performance and a refined tactile experience, appreciated by collectors who value mechanical craftsmanship.
This certified pre-owned luxury watch is presented in very good condition, with only minimal signs of wear consistent with careful use. It is fitted with a leather strap, complemented by a white gold ardillon buckle, and is accompanied by its original Cartier box only. No original papers are included, and therefore it is not considered a full set.
An elegant and historically rich timepiece, this Cartier Santos-Dumont SM in white gold represents a distinguished choice for collectors seeking a pre-owned luxury watch with iconic design and enduring appeal.
