Cartier Santos Skeleton 'Large'

The Santos de Cartier Skeleton watch, large model, is a masterpiece of horological engineering, combining elegance with cutting-edge design. Its 39.8 mm steel case is both robust and refined, featuring a 7-sided crown adorned with a faceted sapphire, giving it a distinct and luxurious touch. The watch's dial showcases the remarkable skeletonized bridges, cleverly crafted to form Roman numerals, offering a glimpse into the intricacies of the Manufacture mechanical movement with manual winding, powered by the calibre 9611 MC. The blued-steel sword-shaped hands elegantly sweep across the skeletonized dial, protected by sapphire crystal on both the front and case back, enhancing its durability and sophisticated aesthetic. 

This Santos Skeleton comes with a steel bracelet featuring Cartier's innovative SmartLink adjustment system for easy resizing and a second strap in alligator skin for added versatility. Both straps are equipped with the QuickSwitch system, allowing seamless interchangeability between the steel bracelet and alligator strap. The movement, individually numbered and composed of 138 parts with 20 jewels, delivers high performance with 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. Despite its intricate design, the watch maintains a slim profile at 9.08 mm in thickness and is water-resistant to 10 bar (approximately 100 meters), making it both a statement of style and a functional timepiece for everyday wear.
