Cartier Santos 10038 mm — Professionally Restored

This Cartier Santos 100 W20073X8 has undergone a comprehensive cosmetic and mechanical restoration in our workshop, with careful attention to both appearance and performance.

The case and exterior components were professionally cleaned and refinished, while the caseback was carefully restored to improve its overall appearance and preserve the character of the watch.

The automatic Cartier calibre 049 was fully inspected and serviced. As part of the mechanical restoration, the balance wheel and balance spring were replaced in order to restore stable and reliable operation. All gaskets and seals were also replaced during the service.

After assembly, the movement was adjusted, regulated, and functionally tested.
