The Santos de Cartier's geometric language — square case, exposed screws, clean lines — serves as the foundation for this heavily jeweled interpretation. At 39.8mm, the case is entirely set in 18K rose gold and paved with baguette diamonds, as is the bezel and matching bracelet, creating a continuous diamond surface throughout the watch. A folding clasp and sapphire crystal complete the construction, with water resistance rated to 100 meters.
The skeleton dial opens the watch entirely to view, with the movement bridges of Caliber 9611 MC shaped as Roman numerals — a design choice that merges the dial and the movement into a single visual plane. Roman numeral hour markers and the mechanical architecture beneath coexist in a fully openworked face, offering a clear view of the hand-wound movement at work.
Caliber 9611 MC powers the watch with manual winding and delivers approximately 72 hours of power reserve, with functions limited to hours and minutes. This example is pre-owned and comes with the original box and papers.
