The Santos Galbée is an iconic Cartier piece, particularly the rarer and more sought-after versions in 18kt yellow gold, like this example, which is further elevated by the presence of an automatic movement instead of the classic quartz.
The condition of this Santos Galbée reference 0901 is very good. The dial shows very small hairline marks due to normal aging of the paint, but these micro imperfections are only noticeable in photographs and not visible to the naked eye unless viewed through a high-magnification lens. The watch has been professionally polished in the past. The engravings, serial numbers, and reference on the case back are relatively fine, as is common with this reference, but are still perfectly legible. The movement has been recently serviced and functions flawlessly. The condition of the case and bracelet is excellent, with very little play between the links.
All components are original and correct for the production period.
