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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe yellow parts on the watch are made of genuine 18K yellow gold, and the bezel surrounding the octagonal case is truly impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe octagon is known as a shape that possesses the most perfect artistic beauty and high visual balance from a human perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch also features hands—the hour and minute hands—that shine in a subtle blue, which is a signature of Cartier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial features the ivory black Roman numeral design, known as the most iconic and symbolic aesthetic of Cartier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrently, the same small-sized automatic 18K combo model is trading internationally at around 8 million KRW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidering the domestic market, I am offering this stylish watch at a reasonable price. Personally, I find the octagonal Santos design to be exceptionally handsome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI believe this is a Cartier watch that embodies history and tradition—a watch whose value will only rise, not fall, in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeoul 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.
