Cartier Santos Carrée MM 29mm Ref. 2961 – Full Set 1996

At Van Dorst Watches, we are proud to offer this iconic Cartier Santos Carrée MM Ref. 2961, one of the most recognizable and historically significant luxury sports watches ever created.

The Cartier Santos has long been regarded as one of the most important wristwatch designs in history. Originally created by Louis Cartier in 1904 for the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, it is widely considered one of the first purpose-built wristwatches. The Santos Carrée, introduced during the late 1970s, transformed this historic design into a distinctive luxury sports watch and became one of Cartier’s most celebrated creations.

This particular example dates from 1996 and features the classic combination of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold. The contrasting materials give the watch its instantly recognizable appearance and perfectly reflect the elegant yet sporty character for which the Santos collection is known.

The beautifully proportioned 29mm square case offers exceptional wearing comfort and a timeless presence on the wrist. Thanks to its versatile dimensions, the watch is suitable for both men and women who appreciate refined vintage design.

The case is complemented by an 18k yellow gold bezel featuring Cartier’s signature exposed screws. The blue cabochon-set crown provides an elegant finishing touch and remains one of the most recognizable details associated with Cartier watches.

The classic white dial features bold black Roman numerals, blued steel sword-shaped hands, and Cartier’s signature chemin-de-fer minute track. A date display is positioned at 3 o’clock, adding everyday practicality without compromising the balanced appearance of the dial.

The integrated Cartier Santos bracelet is crafted from stainless steel and 18k yellow gold. Its exposed screw design forms an essential part of the character of the watch and creates a seamless transition between the case and bracelet. The combination of brushed steel and polished yellow gold provides a luxurious appearance while offering excellent comfort on the wrist.

Powering the watch is a reliable Cartier automatic movement, appreciated for its dependable performance and suitability for everyday wear.

This example is offered by Van Dorst Watches as a complete set and comes with its original Cartier presentation box and papers. The watch is in good overall condition and shows visible signs of wear consistent with its age and careful use. These signs of wear are clearly visible in the photographs and contribute to the authentic character expected from a vintage timepiece.
