Cartier Santos Octagon
Cartier Santos Octagon
Ref. 187903 • Stainless Steel and 18k Yellow Gold • Circa 1990s
Description
The Cartier Santos Octagon ref. 187903 is a quietly distinctive take on the Santos lineage, blending classic Cartier elegance with a bold geometric twist. Crafted in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, the octagonal case immediately sets it apart from the more familiar square Santos profile, giving the watch a sharper, more architectural presence on the wrist.
The dial is a warm ivory tone that has developed gentle patina over time, adding depth and character that only a well aged vintage Cartier can offer. Heat blued steel hands provide a striking contrast, while the discreet date window adds everyday practicality without disrupting the dial’s balance. Completing the watch is the original stainless steel and yellow gold bracelet with exposed screws, a signature Santos detail that reinforces its industrial yet elegant charm.
Why it stands out
The octagonal case design is rare within the Santos family and gives this reference a distinctive identity. Paired with the ivory dial and natural patina, it carries a refined vintage presence that feels both understated and special.
