Cartier Santos Galbee | Stainless Steel | 24mm | Automatic | W20054D6

A Watch Born of Friendship and Flight

At the dawn of powered aviation, Louis Cartier answered a friend’s challenge: create a timepiece legible at a glance while aloft. In 1904, the Santos for Alberto Santos‑Dumont became the pioneering solution—and, in truth, the blueprint for the modern men’s wristwatch. This elegant Santos Galbée carries that origin story into a refined, everyday expression of the icon.
