Cartier W20099C4 Santos Galbee XL SS / 18K Yellow Gold Silver Roman Dial

The Cartier Santos Galbee W20099C4 represents a sophisticated evolution of one of horology’s most evocative designs. Launched as a modern iteration of Cartier’s famed Santos line, the Galbee XL channels the spirit of the original aviator’s wristwatch while incorporating contemporary flourishes. The model showcases a perfectly proportioned 32mm wide by 45mm lug-to-lug stainless steel case, strikingly contrasted with 18K yellow gold bezel and accents, reflecting Cartier’s mastery of mixed-metal elegance. The signature silver Roman numeral dial, paired with blued steel hands and a sapphire-topped crown, preserve the brand’s Art Deco DNA. At its core beats the automatic caliber 049, a reliable movement celebrated for its precision and durability. Collectors esteem the Galbee for its blend of sportiness and formality, balancing iconic heritage with versatile wearability. The model’s relatively slender 8.8mm thickness ensures comfort under the cuff, while its distinctive bracelet and hidden clasp showcase Cartier’s unparalleled finishing. This W20099C4 stands as a timeless choice for enthusiasts who appreciate both technical rigor and enduring design—an essential modern classic within the Santos family. Excellent Condition with Cartier travel pouch.
