[Incoming] 2020 Platinum Santos Dumont “Le Brésil”

Beyond excited to welcome the 2020 Platinum “Le Brésil” Santos Dumont into my Cartier family! I’m in love with the tone-on-tone colour scheme from the platinum case, silvered dial, raised polished metallic numerals and black rhodium hands. The numerals add a ton of three dimensionality to the dial and they play with the light so nicely. ⁣

The only real splash of colour comes from the delectable Ruby Cabochon which really guides and heightens the attention of the eyes to its deep and rich reddish hue. The piece looks steampunk yet super chic at the same time. ⁣

Managed to secure No.96/100 too which is the icing on the cake as it is a very significant number to me.

I like it a lot, very cool and classy piece you probably won't ever see again in the wild. Would love to see some wrist shots.

Wow, that is really beautiful! I recently saw the gold and stainless limited edition model in a local boutique and it was nice, but the all platinum model is just so impressive! The tone on tone theme works perfectly. Enjoy it!

Love the new Santos thin, congrats

The heft of the platinum must feel great with the thinness of the case.

Simply an amazing piece, right?!? Im biased tho as I'm also an owner :) Honored to be in the small club.

I've been trying to source a fabric strap similar to the one that comes with the 'La Demoiselle' edition. Would anyone happen to know of any leads for the manufacturer?
