Its bold square case and exposed bezel screws remain instantly recognizable more than a century later. This skeletonized interpretation reimagines that icon as a piece of open mechanical art, where the very structure of the movement becomes the dial's design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCrafted in 18-karat rose gold, the 39.8mm case frames a fully skeletonized hand-wound movement whose bridges are shaped into oversized Roman numerals, so the mechanism itself tells the time. Through the openwork, gears and jewels lie bare from front to back, while a blue sapphire cabochon crowns the winder. The matching rose gold bracelet, with its signature exposed screws and quick-change system, completes one of the most architecturally striking watches Cartier makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e*This timepiece is complete, and comes with an alligator strap, gold buckle, loop, and a polishing cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67608456986868,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/7141\/5373\/files\/cartier-santos-large-whsa0008-rose-gold-skeleton-dial-2018-cartier-1260220590.png?v=1790643550","url":"https:\/\/wristaficionado.com\/products\/cartier-santos-large-whsa0008-rose-gold-skeleton-dial-2018","provider":"Wrist Aficionado","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
