First released in the 70s, the Santos Carrée was Cartier's attempt to offer an accessible sport watch in both two tone (ref. 2961) and in steel (ref. 2960). At 29mm, the Carrée (square in French), case is perfectly sized to be the perfect blend of elegance and sporty. One might argue that today, more than ever, this model is the Rolex Datejust of Cartier. We could not pass up on this two tone example for its fantastic preservation, as well as sharp and unpolished case/bracelet. If you've been hunting for a top example, look no further! 

Dial: Excellent preservation. There is some light "spidering" in the enamel finish but this is normal for its age and not distracting to the naked eye. No notable blemishes. Bezel: Appears unpolished and very nicely preserved. Hands: Are matching. Case: Extremely sharp edges with sharp lug holes. Appears completely unpolished and displays light signs of use. Correct crown. Bracelet: Remains extremely tight and appears unpolished. Will fit up to a 7 inch wrist. Crystal: Clear. Accessories: Authentic Cartier service pouch for storage and travel. The movement is running well on our timegrapher and comes with our 1-year mechanical warranty.

Year/era: 1980s Reference: 2961 Serial: 12XXXX Dimensions: 29mm wide, 18mm lug width, 8.5mm thickness. Movement: Automatic caliber 077.
