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. This piece boasts a nice dial and unpolished case/bezel and bracelet. If you've been hunting for a great example, look no further!
Dial: Has some light crazing which is normal to see in examples of this age. Nothing too distracting to the naked eye.
Bezel: Appears sharp and unpolished with thick proportions.
