拍品專文

This lot includes a strap made from an endangered species material, which cannot be shipped outside of Switzerland. If shipped internationally, the watch will be supplied without a strap.

Amongst the most well-known and appreciated timepieces of Cartier, the Santos-Dumont was developed following a request from the Brazilian pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont to Louis Cartier. An aviation pioneer, Mr. Dumont was experiencing difficulties in reading time with his pocket watch while operating controls during flights, leading Cartier to provide him with a prototype wristwatch in the early 1900, later known as the Santos-Dumont. The first timepiece with integrated lugs, the wristwatch was considered the first modern wristwatch for men and was crafted with a cabochon sapphire crown, which became throughout the years a distinctive feature of Cartier timepieces.

The present example is part of a limited edition of 500 pieces. Turning the watch over, the caseback reveals an engraving of Alberto Santos-Dumont’s flying machine N°19.
