Cartier Santos Dumont XL Platinum WGSA0082 – Limited Edition #123/200 (Full Complete Set, Mint Condition)

A pinnacle of classic Cartier horology, this Santos-Dumont Platinum Limited Edition ref. WGSA0082 is an exceptional collector’s piece — one of only 200 individually numbered examples ever produced, with this example proudly bearing number 123/200.

Crafted in 950/1000 platinum, the elegantly proportioned rectangular case (approx. 46.6 × 33.9 mm) exhibits Cartier’s timeless Art Deco aesthetics with a slim profile and exquisite finish. The dial features a matte guilloché effect with red jasper Roman numerals and apple-shaped polished steel hands, creating a refined contrast that enhances both legibility and visual depth. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, underscoring the watch’s luxury pedigree.

At its heart beats the manual-winding Manufacture Calibre 430 MC, a meticulously finished mechanical movement offering a classic feel and engagement with the art of watchmaking. The solid platinum case back is beautifully engraved with the handwritten signature of aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont, a nod to the historic ties between Cartier and early 20th-century aviation.

Presented on a premium brown alligator leather strap with a matching platinum ardillon buckle, this piece brings both luxury and comfort to the wrist. Water resistance is rated to approx. 30 meters (3 bar) — ideal for everyday wear within a dress context.
