Santos de Cartier Large WSSA0018

The Santos de Cartier Large WSSA0018, descended from the 1904 aviator's watch, pairs a squared steel case with exposed screws and Cartier's QuickSwitch interchangeable bracelet and SmartLink adjustment. The figure shown is the boutique list price, not a resale quote. As a steady, design-led icon rather than a hype piece, it generally trades at or modestly below retail, so condition and the completeness of box, papers, and the spare leather strap drive individual valuations. A clean, unworn full set of the in-house Calibre 1847 MC earns the strongest pricing on authenticated platforms.

How the Buy-timing Score is calculated

We combine today's price position within this product's own 12-month range, its distance from the all-time low, and the recent trend. The score reflects price timing and is the same in every market; only the displayed prices and retailers change. We never accept payment to change a score. Read the full methodology →
