Cartier Santos Galbée SM Ref. 2423 2000s

$7,450.00 NZD

The Cartier Santos Galbée is the Santos as Cartier softened it — the exposed screw bezel and integrated bracelet of the original Santos architecture preserved in full, but the square Carrée case given a gentle curve at its shoulders that produces a rounder, more organic silhouette on the wrist. Where the Carrée reads as strict and architectural, the Galbée reads as considered and wearable — a distinction that makes the reference particularly well-suited to daily wear across a broader range of contexts than the more formal square case allows.

This Ref. 2423 SM in stainless steel dates to the 2000s and is powered by the Caliber. 077 automatic movement — a meaningful upgrade over the quartz configuration the Santos Galbée was also offered in, and one that gives the watch a mechanical quality appropriate to its Santos heritage.

Materials

Stainless steel

The Santos Galbée's rounded case profile is the detail that sets it apart from the Carrée within the Santos family — the curved shoulders soften the square architecture without abandoning the exposed screw bezel and integrated bracelet that define the Santos silhouette
The Caliber. 077 automatic movement is the more engaging of the two movement options the Santos Galbée was offered in — the self-winding mechanism adds a mechanical dimension entirely appropriate to a reference with the Santos's heritage, and one that the quartz variant cannot replicate
The white guilloché dial has aged to a soft cream tone — a natural development over two decades that adds a warmth and character to the watch that a newer example cannot replicate. The guilloché pattern retains its definition throughout, catching light in the fine crosshatching that Cartier has used across its dial production for well over a century

Minor scratches around the case, bezel, and bracelet
Some scuffs on the case edges
