The Curved Icon from Cartier
The Cartier Santos has one of the richest histories in watchmaking. Originally designed in 1904 for pioneering aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, it was the first purpose-built men’s wristwatch. Over the decades, the Santos has remained a cornerstone of Cartier’s collection, evolving through multiple generations.
The Santos Galbée, introduced in the 1980s, refined the iconic square design with softer lines and curved case edges. Its name, “Galbée,” comes from the French word for “curved” or “shaped,” reflecting its ergonomic design that hugs the wrist more comfortably than its predecessors. By the early 2000s, the Galbée had become the Santos of its era: instantly recognisable, effortlessly elegant, and a staple for men and women alike.
This reference 1564 (W20060D6), dating from 2000, is a classic stainless large model that has just been fully serviced and remains unworn since service.

Iconic Status
The Santos has been a favourite of cultural icons for decades. Andy Warhol famously wore his Cartier Tank, but equally, the Santos Galbée became a go-to watch for those seeking Cartier’s unmistakable design with a sportier edge. Its versatility meant it was as at home in boardrooms as it was in Hollywood circles throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.
The Galbée remains one of the most wearable Cartier references today, loved by collectors for its comfortable proportions and unmistakable character.
