Cartier Santos Octagon
Hi everybody,
Been a long time read-only visitor of these forums, but I'd like to ask you all for some help on identifying the watch in the attached photo's.
It seems to be a Cartier Santos Octagon, only with a red dial and missing romans on the dial.
The watch has recently been back to Cartier for servicing.
Has anybody ever seen a variant like this before and/or might know where and why these watches were made?
Regards,
Fabio

Interesting find...
I've only seen the octagonal Santos with a white dial with Romans. However the dial on that watch is beautiful. I don't know anything of that watches significance. However, the few times I've seen Cartiers with a red cabochon on the crown usually they wer...
The last service was done by the Cartier Boutique in Geneva
I'll make some pictures of the papers later this week. The watch was a gift from a client several years ago, in the 80s. Regards, Fabio
I have seen it with a maroon dial before
but I can't remember where or when, possibly at auction. That dial is definitely original, but I doubt it is a special edition. - SJX
