가격 문의

I am selling a stunning Cartier watch. It is the Cartier Santos Carrée Octagon 18K Combi SM, a small-sized ladies' model. Among the Santos line, it is a highly charming and stylish timepiece.

While most of these models were sold with affordable quartz batteries, the watch I am offering is the higher-tier model equipped with an automatic movement.

Although standard Santos models were mostly released in square or rectangular shapes, the Santos Octagon was launched by Cartier in the past with an octagonal case to revolutionize watch design.

Furthermore, this is an early-release model featuring a single-folding clasp with a prominent Cartier logo. Many Cartier enthusiasts feel a sense of regret as the logo disappeared from later versions of the clasp.

Since the model has been discontinued, the clasp featuring the Cartier logo is quite rare, making this watch one that is recognized for its high collectibility and investment value. The luxurious combination of Cartier yellow gold and steel created this historical Swiss luxury watch.

Because it was produced in small quantities over a short period, it is not technically a limited edition, but it remains one of the hardest watches to find. The automatic model, in particular, is even more elusive.

The yellow parts on the watch are made of genuine 18K yellow gold, and the bezel surrounding the octagonal case is truly impressive.

Since the discontinuation of the Octagon line, Cartier has produced only square cases for the Santos, leading many international columnists and collectors to rank this as a Santos model with extremely high collectible value.

Due to its octagonal case, it is often referred to internationally as the "Cartier Royal Oak" because of its resemblance to the Royal Oak by the high-end Swiss brand Audemars Piguet.

Since its discontinuation, it has received immense attention from watch enthusiasts and global watch communities, often being cited as one of the most beautiful Cartier designs and consistently appearing in Cartier history books.

With the rise of the internet and the information age since the 2000s, the value and beauty of the Cartier Santos Octagon have been recognized worldwide, establishing it as a representative classic vintage Cartier model that now boasts immense popularity and demand.

It is such a highly satisfying and luxurious Cartier watch that it is often said if you love Cartier, the Santos Octagon is a must-have. It is a representative classic Cartier watch that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

While most Cartier watches have square or round shapes, the watch I am introducing is a special timepiece featuring an octagonal case that is neither round nor square.

The octagon is known as a shape that possesses the most perfect artistic beauty and high visual balance from a human perspective.

This is a model that makes one truly appreciate Cartier for being able to create such a luxurious and intricate watch case design at that time.

The octagonal shape was widely used even from the Middle Ages in the 11th–13th centuries, and later during the Renaissance in Europe from the 14th–16th centuries, owing to its beautiful proportions.

The watch also features hands—the hour and minute hands—that shine in a subtle blue, which is a signature of Cartier.

This is achieved through Cartier's iconic blue hands craftsmanship, a technique rooted in artisan spirit where the hands are heat-treated in a furnace for an extended period.

Blue hands are a symbol of high-end luxury watches, and Cartier, in particular, uses this finishing technique on their watches due to their long tradition and technical expertise.

The hour, minute, and second hands are baked directly by fire in a furnace exceeding 300 degrees Celsius. It produces a very luxurious feel, where a mysterious and subtle blue glow envelops the hands, rather than an artificial blue color.

This is one of the standard designs for traditional Swiss luxury watches, found not only in Cartier but also in high-end brands like Breguet, Patek Philippe, and Jaeger-LeCoultre.

The dial features the ivory black Roman numeral design, known as the most iconic and symbolic aesthetic of Cartier.

It is the quintessential, best-selling dial design that built the Cartier we know today, and most of Cartier’s core models from the past to the present utilize this black Roman numeral style.

Currently, the same small-sized automatic 18K combo model is trading internationally at around 8 million KRW.

Considering the domestic market, I am offering this stylish watch at a reasonable price. Personally, I find the octagonal Santos design to be exceptionally handsome.

I believe this is a Cartier watch that embodies history and tradition—a watch whose value will only rise, not fall, in the future.

As it has been discontinued, the original box and papers are not included, but since the manufacturer's warranty period has long expired, this holds little significance.

However, authenticity registration has recently been completed on the official Cartier website under my ID, and I will transfer the watch ownership to your account when you register on the Cartier website.

As someone who personally loves Cartier's history and watches, I believe it is difficult to find another timepiece that captures Cartier's iconic sensibility and artistry as well as this one.

It is in excellent condition, suitable for both daily wear or as a collector's piece. I hope it goes to someone who appreciates Cartier watches and understands the value of vintage classic timepieces.

Seoul Watch guarantees that all watches sold are 100% genuine, and the watch will be provided with a Seoul Watch warranty card and case. Every watch has undergone a basic inspection, and we will take responsibility to assist with repairs should any mechanical issues arise in the future. Thank you.
