Cartier Santos Galbee 2319 SIHH Limited Edition.
A highly distinctive and increasingly collectible Cartier Santos, produced as a limited edition of just 2,000 pieces for the 2002 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), the prestigious Swiss watch fair now known as Watches & Wonders.
This special SIHH edition takes the classic Santos silhouette and gives it a distinctly more contemporary character. The grey dial with crisp white printing is exceptionally clean, with the date window omitted for a minimalist appearance. Most notably, the watch features luminous hands and hour markers, an unusually sporty detail on such an elegant and traditionally styled model.
