This Santos Vendome, reference 81924, in remarkable and virtually unrepeatable 'New Old Stock' condition. Far from the traditional offerings, this example features an exceedingly rare and captivating minimalist dial, elevating it to a piece of pure architectural design. Preserved as a true time capsule from the 1990s, it is offered as a complete collector's package with its original box and papers. The Santos Vendome's elegant circular form is rendered here in a sharp, monochromatic stainless steel execution. The design's brilliance, however, lies in its dial. Stunning anthracite grey dial, finished with a subtle vertical brushing that catches and plays with the light beautifully. This clean, modern look feels both of its era and incredibly contemporary with it's minimalistic Cartier signature and polished baton hands design. The signature blue sapphire cabochon on the crown provides a perfect, solitary flash of colour. The case and integrated 'Galbée' bracelet, with their iconic screws, retain their original factory-sharp brushed and polished finishes, testament to the watch's unworn state. The bracelet is exceptionally tight and culminates in a folding clasp bearing the iconic 'Double C' logo. Powered by a high-precision Cartier quartz calibre, this watch offers the perfect blend of avant-garde design and effortless, reliable function.
