Cartier Santos Carrée ref. 2960 “ghost”

The Cartier Santos Carrée Ref. 2960 with the “ghost” dial is a rare and distinguished timepiece. Introduced in the late 1970s, the Santos Carrée marked a significant evolution from the original Santos design, featuring a more angular, square case and an integrated bracelet. The “ghost” dial, characterized by its subtle, vertically brushed finish and faint Cartier signature that often fades with age, adds a unique and understated elegance to the watch. This dial variant is particularly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and distinctive appearance. The 29mm x 41mm stainless steel case, coupled with the integrated bracelet, offers a seamless and modern aesthetic that was ahead of its time. Powered by a reworked ETA automatic movement, the Ref. 2960 combines reliability with the craftsmanship Cartier is renowned for. This very model is in very good condition with no signs of polishing and only very light scratches and signs of wear to the case. The perfectly preserved “swiss made” service dial looks incredible and the watch comes accompanied by the original box, all the correct booklets and unfilled papers.
