Cartier Santos 100 Large W20073X8 2013 [Preowned]
Overview
The Cartier Santos 100 W20073X8, introduced in 2004 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the iconic Santos collection, became an instant classic with its bold, modern reinterpretation of the original 1904 design. The large square case, measuring 38mm, is made of stainless steel and paired with Cartier’s signature Roman numeral dial, maintaining the brand's traditional elegance. The exposed screws on the bezel and integrated lugs give the watch a more rugged, industrial edge, making it a statement piece with a masculine and contemporary appeal.
One of the defining features of the Santos 100 is its substantial presence on the wrist, emphasized by the thicker case and pronounced crown, complete with a blue sapphire cabochon. Despite its size, the watch remains comfortable to wear, largely thanks to the high-quality materials and Cartier's attention to ergonomic design. The black alligator leather strap, equipped with a deployant buckle, adds a luxurious touch that balances the watch's sporty and elegant characteristics, making it suitable for both casual and formal settings.
Discontinued in 2017, the Santos 100 W20073X8 has become increasingly collectible, as it represents a modern yet faithful tribute to one of Cartier's most storied designs. Its departure from production has further solidified its status as a sought-after timepiece, appealing to those who appreciate the fusion of Cartier's classic heritage with a more contemporary, oversized aesthetic. The discontinuation has also enhanced its allure on the pre-owned market, making it a coveted model for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
