Vintage Cartier, Authentically Yours
Cartier Santos Octagon LM Two-Tone Automatic with Crack-Free Dial
The discontinued Cartier Santos Octagon Ref. 2966 features a distinctive octagonal case that combines a rounded profile with sharply defined corners. Its Stainless Steel and yellow gold construction is paired with a white dial and an automatic movement.
Although designated as the LM size, the 29mm case remains compact and sits comfortably on the wrist. It is slightly smaller than the Santos Galbée, while its octagonal case offers a design no longer found in Cartier’s current collection. This bracelet watch works easily with casual attire and can also be worn by women.
The Santos Octagon has gained greater recognition in recent years. It is an appealing option for those drawn to luxury sports watches or looking to enter the world of vintage watches at a relatively accessible price point. The wrist shots show a previously sold example and are provided for reference only.
PRODUCT DETAILS
CONDITION
The case is in very good condition, without any prominent deep scratches or dents. No cracks are visible on the dial to the naked eye, and scratches and discoloration are minimal. The hands and crystal show no visible dirt, with scratches also kept to a minimum.
The bracelet has little sag and shows few significant dents or scratches. Overall, the watch is in very good condition and meets our standards. However, the fit between the bracelet links is not perfect, and the price has been set with this point in mind. This does not present an issue for continued wear.
