Cartier Santos Galbée Ladies 75 Aniversario de 1979

In 1978, Cartier redesigned and renamed the Santos de Cartier, giving the watch an integrated bracelet instead of the traditional leather strap. Cartier made the case and bracelet from stainless steel, a true departure for the Maison that had only worked with precious metals before this time. The following year marked the 75th anniversary of the Santos model, so Cartier decided to launch a special edition to commemorate this anniversary, giving the classic Cartier Santos a Wine Red dial and a Ruby cabochon replacing the classic Sapphire blue cabochon, ornamenting the watch with the classic red tones of the Maison. This model not only differentiated itself by its colors but also by its finishes, as it was the only Santos Galbée model to incorporate a satin finish on the bezel of the watch, giving it a distinctive appearance.
