Cartier Santos W20011C4 Ivory Roman Dial Nov 1990

The Cartier Santos ref. W20011C4 is an iconic expression of one of watchmaking's most celebrated designs, combining timeless elegance with pioneering heritage. Crafted in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, this two-tone case represents the perfect fusion of sport and luxury that has made the Santos collection a cornerstone of Cartier's horological legacy since its creation as one of the first purpose-built wristwatches.

This reference features a stunning ivory dial adorned with classic Roman numerals, showcasing Cartier's mastery of traditional dial craftsmanship. The warm ivory tone creates a sophisticated backdrop for the bold Roman hour markers, while the railway minute track and blued steel hands deliver both elegance and exceptional legibility. The distinctive square case with its exposed screws pays homage to the original 1904 design created for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont.

At its heart beats a reliable self-winding automatic movement, delivering consistent timekeeping performance and the convenience of automatic winding through daily wear. The movement represents Cartier's commitment to mechanical excellence and long-term reliability, making this timepiece suitable for both collectors and daily enthusiasts.

Presented on the signature two-tone bracelet that mirrors the case construction, this Santos offers exceptional comfort and visual continuity. Available in excellent condition with 1990 papers, the W20011C4 represents a highly desirable vintage-era Santos that captures the timeless appeal and historical significance that have made this reference a cornerstone of luxury watch collecting.
