A Santos Carrée with a white enamel dial, a beautifully squared two-tone case, and the Cartier 077 automatic movement.
Overview
The Santos Carrée was released in the late 1970s and marked the brand's new approach to offering a more accessible sports watch in stainless steel with gold accents. The Carrée ("square" in French) is known for its more boxy case and became one of the more iconic watches of the 1980s and helped to popularize the brand with a younger audience. An all gold version of this watch was famously worn by character Gordon Gekko in the movie Wall Street.

Fair
:
Case has many scratches and nicks. Lugs may show signs of moderate polishing with worn edges. Dial and hands may have noticeable stains or marks. Lume may be damaged or show significant discoloration.
Case: The case shows normal signs of wear for a 30+ year old watch with hairlines and little dings throughout, but no major dents.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The white dial has taken on a subtle "spider" effect with hairline cracks throughout. This is a rather cool effect found in many of the white-dial Cartiers of the 70s and 80s. The hands and sapphire crystal are in excellent condition.
Bracelet/Strap: The bracelet is in good condition with little to no stretch and a few small hairlines throughout.
