Cartier WGSA0030 Santos Medium 18K Yellow Gold Silver Dial 2024

The Cartier Santos Medium reference WGSA0030 presents a masterful reinterpretation of the pioneering 1904 aviator’s wristwatch, now rendered in sumptuous 18K yellow gold with a refined silvered opaline dial. Powered by Cartier’s in‑house automatic caliber 1847 MC, this medium‑sized Santos delivers a 42‑hour power reserve and the precision and reliability collectors expect from a modern manufacture movement. Measuring a balanced 35.1 mm across, 41.9 mm lug‑to‑lug, and a slender 8.83 mm thick, it wears with elegant presence while remaining discreetly refined. The iconic design features—including the seven‑sided crown set with a faceted sapphire, blued‑steel sword hands, and exposed screw bezel—pay homage to the original Santos aesthetic while embodying contemporary craftsmanship. Water‑resistant to 10 bar (approximately 100 meters), it combines daily practicality with luxury. The integrated 18K yellow gold SmartLink bracelet, complemented by a quick‑change alligator strap option, underscores Cartier’s commitment to versatility and comfort. Though not a limited edition, the WGSA0030 stands out for its full‑gold execution and faithful design lineage, making it a compelling choice for discerning collectors who value both heritage and horological refinement. Excellent condition with Cartier box, additional Cartier strap, and papers dated 2024.
