Cartier Santos Carree 24mm - Ref. 0902

For sale is a Cartier Santos Carrée 24mm Ref. 0902 in Stainless Steel and 18k Yellow Gold – Sold with Original Box.

 

The Dial:
This example features the classic Cartier white dial with bold black Roman numerals, blued steel hands, and the signature railway minute track. On close inspection, the dial shows very fine hairline marks, often referred to by collectors as “spidering,” due to their resemblance to a delicate spider’s web. This subtle and common characteristic for the model adds a touch of vintage charm without detracting from the watch’s clean presentation on the wrist. The sapphire cabochon crown provides the final touch of Cartier elegance.

 

The Case:
The Santos Carrée 24mm is crafted in stainless steel with an 18k yellow gold bezel, measuring 24mm across (excluding crown). Its square case, accented by exposed screws, remains one of Cartier’s most iconic and enduring designs. The case is in excellent condition, with crisp edges and well-preserved finishing.

 

The Bracelet:
The integrated Santos bracelet in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold mirrors the bezel design with its screw motif and flows seamlessly from the case. The bracelet is in excellent condition with minimal stretch, offering both comfort and timeless style.

 

The Movement:
Powered by a Cartier automatic movement, the watch delivers reliable, precise timekeeping with the smooth sweep of an automatic caliber, making it effortless to wear day to day.

 

Conclusion:
The Cartier Santos Carrée Ref. 0902 embodies the brand’s signature balance of elegance and innovation. At 24mm, it offers a refined and versatile presence, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the enduring appeal of Cartier’s most iconic square design. The tasteful patina of the dial, with its subtle spidering effect, enhances its vintage character and makes this a particularly attractive example.
