In 1904, Cartier released their first Santos watch for Louis Cartier's friend and famed aviator, Alberto Santos-Dumont. The Santos collection to date remains to be one of the most recognizable and treasured within the firm.
To pay homage to the Santos watch, in the early 2000s, Cartier created a pen with the iconic design of stainless steel with gold screws. The clip is creatively shaped to resemble a propeller from a plane. This exclusive pen was made in a limited production of 1904 to honor the models first year of production.
In excellent overall condition, in the present example no.0446 is a collectors item that will pair nicely when used in a meeting with any Cartier wristwatch.
