Things you should know
This Cartier Santos Carrée, reference 1172961, dates to approximately 1980. The watch is in excellent aesthetic condition, featuring a striking white dial with crisp black Roman numerals. The dial is pristine, showing no signs of yellowing or imperfections, and is confirmed as original by the "Swiss" signature at 6 o'clock.
The steel case exhibits well-defined original bevels, indicative of its preserved finish. The gold bezel has been polished but not excessively, allowing it to maintain its distinct squared presence without being rounded from over-polishing. It shows some superficial scratches and minor, barely visible nicks near 11 and 1/2 o'clock. The cabochon and crown are both in excellent condition. The case back has some superficial scratches, but the engravings, including the serial and reference numbers, remain clearly legible.
The original steel and gold bracelet is in excellent, solid condition with minimal to no stretch, and is secured by a hidden deployant butterfly clasp.
Each watch is accompanied by a 1-year mechanical warranty, providing coverage for all its components starting from the date of purchase. Furthermore, prior to being showcased for online sale, every watch undergoes a thorough overhaul by our watchmaker, guaranteeing its optimal condition.
Certainly, the warranty extends specifically to cover wear and tear of the movement. It's important to note that damages resulting from misuse or accidental incidents will not fall under the protection of the warranty.
It's essential to bear in mind that all the watches are over 20 years old. Consequently, while they offer unique charm and character, you should understand that they may not exhibit the same precision as modern watches.
Our utmost priority is your satisfaction with your purchase. Consequently, irrespective of your location, we cover the shipping expenses. While all shipping expenses are covered, duties and import taxes are solely your responsibility.
Every shipment is fully insured and will be delivered through DHL Express or another reputable shipping company with whom we have a partnership, ensuring coverage of the total price of the watch for a secure and reliable shipping experience.
