Description

In 1987, Cartier had redesigned, made a few changes, renamed and announced the Santos Galbée. The case became rounder and smoother, which fits better on the wrist than the original Santos.

The watch is in overall good condition with light wear throughout commensurate with age. Case is in overall good condition with minor surface wear. Bracelet has minor signs of scratches. Dial is in overall good condition. The movement is running at the time of cataloging, however, it was not tested for the accuracy of time or duration of the power reserve and may need service at the buyer's discretion.
