The classic design, with added simplicity, this Cartier Santos Galbée will be for many the ultimate ladies watch.  Model reference 1565.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

Reference 1565 was in production for a long time, but there were subtle changes.  We have found a watch with 1998 sales papers that has a similar serial number on the case back, and the same fold over clasp on the bracelet (later watches had a butterfly clasp), so we are thinking this watch was also made circa 1998.

CONDITION

The Santos range is a Cartier classic, and for many it will the first watch we think of when someone mentions Cartier.  They have been making them in one form or another since 1911, so that comes as no surprise.  There is nothing not to like about this example.  The all stainless steel case and bracelet have been cleaned and lightly polished, so the watch looks newer than it actually is.  The movement is a Cartier quartz calibre 157 movement, which is a set and forget affair for simplicity, and we will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.  The bracelet is quite long and our sister website, SpareLinks.com, may have extra links if required.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
