Description

The Cartier Santos 100 Midsize 33 mm 18K Yellow Gold – Diamond Bezel – Leather Strap (Ref. WM502051) is a luxurious reinterpretation of Cartier’s historic pilot’s watch. Melding pure yellow gold with a radiant diamond bezel and a sleek leather strap, this model exudes exquisite elegance and sporty refinement.

Overview

Released in 2008 as part of the Santos 100 100ⁿ anniversary collection, the WM502051 balances traditional Santos design — featuring the iconic square case and visible screws — with refined sophistication. The midsize configuration (33mm) offers comfortable versatility for modern wearers.

Design and Craftsmanship

Encased in polished 18K yellow gold, the 33 mm square case is topped with a bezel set with brilliant-cut diamonds, each punctuated by the signature eight Santos screws . The silvered dial is marked by bold Roman numerals, a railroad minute track, and blued-steel sword hands. A diamond-set octagonal crown adds a refined finishing touch . The watch is mounted on a striking pink (or optionally orange) alligator leather strap secured with an 18K yellow gold deployant clasp.

Movement and Performance

Driven by an automatic self-winding Cartier caliber (Cal. 076), the movement ensures reliable timekeeping and a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. With a robust water resistance of 100 m, it offers functional durability in daily use
