The Cartier Santos Demoiselle is a refined and elegant ladies’ watch inspired by the pioneering spirit of aviation. It is a part of the Santos de Cartier collection, which traces its roots back to 1904 when Louis Cartier designed the original Santos for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont—one of the first wristwatches ever created for practical use.
The Santos Demoiselle was introduced as a smaller, more delicate interpretation of the classic Santos design, named after "La Demoiselle", a light monoplane designed by Santos-Dumont in the early 20th century. This reference embodies grace and sophistication while maintaining the aviation-inspired geometric aesthetic that defines the Santos line. The current example is further enhanced by its diamond set bezel and is complete with its original box and papers.
