Cartier Santos Galbee Moonphase 29mm - 119901

For sale is a beautiful and rare Cartier Santos Galbée Moonphase Ref. 119901 featuring the iconic 29mm Santos design in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold with a classic ivory Roman numeral dial and moonphase display.

The Santos Galbée
A timeless evolution of Cartier’s pioneering pilot’s watch, the Santos Galbée refines the original design with softer curves and a perfectly contoured case. The Moonphase variant adds a touch of romantic complication to this iconic model, blending technical precision with Cartier’s signature elegance.

Produced in far smaller quantities than the standard time-only Santos models, the Moonphase is one of the more collectible and sought-after variations within the Santos Galbée range.

The Material
Crafted from stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, the case, bezel, and bracelet showcase Cartier’s hallmark two-tone aesthetic. The combination of brushed steel with polished gold screws and accents creates a refined balance of sportiness and luxury.

The Size
Measuring 29mm, this example is considered the desirable midsize / gents configuration, wearing exceptionally well as both a men’s and unisex watch. The curved “Galbée” case profile ensures excellent comfort on the wrist while maintaining an elegant presence.

The Dial
The ivory dial features Cartier’s signature black Roman numerals, blued steel hands, and a moonphase display at 6 o’clock, adding depth and character to the design. A distinctive central hand with a crescent-shaped tip indicates the date along the inner scale.

The Bezel
The 18k yellow gold bezel is secured with eight polished screws, a defining element of the Santos aesthetic and one of the most recognizable details in luxury watch design.

The Bracelet
The integrated two-tone stainless steel and 18k yellow gold bracelet flows seamlessly into the case, featuring polished gold screws throughout, an unmistakable Santos signature.

The Movement
Powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, the Santos Galbée Moonphase offers dependable precision with minimal maintenance, making it an ideal blend of practicality and timeless Cartier design.
