Description

To honor 150 years of horological artistry and visionary design, Cartier released the Santos Reference 1566 – 150th Anniversary Edition, a distinguished reinterpretation of one of the most legendary wristwatches in history. This special edition pays homage to both the spirit of innovation that defined Louis Cartier’s original Santos design in 1904 and the legacy of fine watchmaking that Cartier has cultivated over a century and a half.

At first glance, the watch exudes a unique blend of tradition and bold refinement. Crafted in high-polish 18k yellow gold, the square case of the Reference 1566 remains faithful to the original Santos form — a pioneering shape that redefined wristwatches in the early 20th century. The exposed screws on the bezel and lugs, emblematic of the Santos DNA, add a touch of industrial elegance, while the polished surfaces highlight the clean symmetry of its Art Deco-inspired silhouette.
