Now available, a Cartier Santos-Dumont “Extra-Flat” in yellow gold, the reference 96054.

One of the most elegant modern interpretations of the original Santos design, the reference 96054 embodies everything that makes the Santos-Dumont such an enduring classic. Slim, refined, and unmistakably Cartier, it captures the effortless sophistication that has defined the model for over a century.

Cased in yellow gold and measuring an incredibly slender profile, the “Extra-Flat” lives up to its name. The dial is quintessential Cartier - crisp white with bold Roman numerals, a chemin-de-fer minute track and blued steel hands, all framed by the signature exposed screws of the Santos case.

Originally designed in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont so he could read the time while flying, the Santos remains one of the earliest purpose-built wristwatches - and today one of the most recognisable designs in watchmaking.

This particular, watch-only example presents beautifully and is fitted to a deep green alligator strap which pairs wonderfully with the warmth of the yellow gold case. An effortlessly stylish Santos-Dumont that perfectly demonstrates why Cartier remains the master of elegant dress watches. The watch is available for viewing in London and purchase worldwide.
