Product Description
Cartier Santos Octagon LM (31mm) Automatic

A perfect blend of classic design and quiet refined elegance, the Cartier Santos Octagon LM with automatic movement is an icon of the maison. And this particular piece is far from ordinary—it embodies the essence of vintage Cartier at its finest.

First, the condition is remarkably well-preserved for a vintage watch.
The satin and polished surfaces remain sharp and defined, with no visible tarnish on the gold bezel or screws.
Its refined presence speaks to the care and attention it has received over the years.

What truly sets this watch apart is the rare “godron bracelet”, found only on early models.
A fine gold line runs down the center links, adding a subtle elegance and jewelry-like sophistication.
Discontinued in later versions, this bracelet now serves as a hallmark of early production, making it highly sought-after.

The dial is exceptionally well-preserved, with crisp Roman numerals and a clean white surface free of notable discoloration or aging.
The blued steel hands remain pristine and rust-free, catching the light beautifully and adding to the overall sense of harmony and grace.

To top it off, the watch includes a full-length bracelet (20cm), suitable for a wide range of wrists, and comes with its original Cartier box—a rare and complete package.
