A Galbée XL with a stunning white dial, a form-fitting two-tone case, and the Cartier 049 automatic movement.
Overview
The Santos Galbée XL was released in 2005 as a size update to the wildly popular Santos line. The Galbée ("curved" in French) is known for its more wrist-hugging shape and originally came in a 29mm x 41mm case when launched in 1987. The XL then bumped up the size to 32mm x 45mm to satisfy the demand for larger watches in the mid 2000s. The case also became slightly thicker and the date window was moved from the 3:00 to a more discrete location at 4:30. Overall, it wears very similarly to a 36mm round watch. The Galbée XL is no longer in production, however Cartier continues to produce a modern version of the Santos in medium and large sizes.
