The Cartier WSSA0071 Santos de Cartier Large Blue Dial is a masterful demonstration of Cartier’s legacy in luxury watchmaking, blending historical reverence with contemporary allure. Originally inspired by the pioneering aviation spirit of Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos collection is a testament to early 20th-century innovation and modern refinement.

This model’s combination of technical refinement, deep-rooted heritage, and vibrant dial color has secured its status as a modern standout in the Santos lineage. Seasoned collectors and Cartier enthusiasts alike value its blend of classic elegance and everyday utility.
