A cornerstone of modern watch design, the Cartier Santos Galbée embodies the perfect fusion of heritage, elegance, and everyday wearability. This Lady PM Quartz example, reference 1057930, dates to 1993 and is offered as a true full set, complete with original box, papers, and hang tag—an increasingly rare and highly collectible configuration.

The Santos Galbée – An Icon Refined

Originally conceived in 1904 for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos became one of the world’s first purpose-built wristwatches. The Galbée iteration refines the original square case with softened, ergonomic curves, ensuring exceptional comfort on the wrist while preserving the unmistakable Santos identity.

The PM-sized case measures 24 × 35mm, offering elegant proportions that balance presence with refinement—timeless, versatile, and perfectly suited for daily wear.

Bi-Color Case & Bracelet – Timeless Contrast

This example features the iconic gold and stainless steel construction, a signature Santos combination that enhances both warmth and contrast. The case remains sharp, paired with a cleanly polished bezel that retains its original definition.

The integrated gold-and-steel bracelet, distinguished by Cartier’s legendary exposed screw design, measures approximately 16.5cm and is in excellent condition. The bracelet remains tight and well preserved, sitting comfortably and securely on the wrist.

Dial, Hands & Crown – Pure Cartier DNA

Protected by a spotless sapphire crystal, the dial presents beautifully. The blued steel hands offer refined contrast and immediate recognizability, while the blue sapphire cabochon crown adds a subtle yet luxurious jewel-like accent—an unmistakable Cartier signature.

Quartz Precision – Cartier Cal. 057

Powering the watch is the reliable Cartier Calibre 057 quartz movement, valued for its slim profile, precision, and ease of ownership—perfectly aligned with the Santos Galbée’s elegant, everyday character.

Full Set – A Collector’s Highlight

Offered with its original Cartier box, papers, and hang tag, this 1993 Santos Galbée stands out as a complete and well-preserved example. Full-set vintage Santos watches from this era are increasingly scarce, significantly enhancing collectibility and long-term value.
