As a tribute to his friend the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, Cartier created in 1904 one of the first wristwatches named Santos-Dumont. Throughout the years, its elegance, the audacity of its screws, and the modernity of its fine details have given rise to an authentic Maison Collection, rooted in a great watchmaking myth of excellence and timeless style.
A style re-interpreted by Cartier with this exceptional pen which stages the highly symbolic universe of the aviator; solid gold screws which are riveted one by one to the streamlined keelson, clip in the shape of the propeller and the ogived dome of cap, both plated with a fine layer of gold.
This exceptional pen is limited edition of 1904 individually numbered pieces and whose body is entirely made of 925 sterling silver and precious materials, is dedicated to lovers of aviation, adventures and exceptional achievements.
The pen is new, unused and comes with the outer box, display case, and booklets. There is wear on the display case where the pen has been resting, and the pen shows slight handling wear. Our images represent the item for sale.
