Q: What size is this Cartier Santos Galbée SM watch?
A: This watch measures 24 mm and is the small model, offering the classic Santos look in a compact and elegant format.

Q: What wrist size will it fit?
A: According to the product information, the bracelet fits a wrist measuring 16 cm or smaller. If you need help judging fit, we recommend comparing this with a watch you already wear comfortably.

Q: Is this a quartz or mechanical watch?
A: This Santos Galbée SM is a quartz model, which means it is battery powered and designed for convenient, low-maintenance daily wear.

Q: What materials and design details does this watch have?
A: It features a stainless steel and yellow gold case, a white dial with Roman numerals, a blue cabochon crown, and a two-tone bracelet with gold screw accents.

Q: Is this watch considered vintage?
A: Yes. This piece is described as vintage and dated to around 1995, making it a great option for collectors and anyone who appreciates classic Cartier design from the period.

Q: What condition is the watch in?
A: The overall condition is listed as very good. The exterior shows light traces of use, the internal condition is very good, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches consistent with careful wear.

Q: What is included with the watch?
A: This watch includes its box. Everything included is stated in the product information; if another accessory is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.

Q: Is the Santos Galbée suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, many collectors choose the Santos Galbée as an everyday watch thanks to its timeless design, slim profile, and versatile two-tone finish. As with any vintage watch, careful wear and regular servicing are recommended to help preserve its condition.

Q: How should I care for a vintage Cartier quartz watch?
A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after wear and avoid knocks, chemicals, and prolonged moisture exposure. For quartz Cartier watches, battery changes and water-resistance checks are best handled by Cartier or an authorised watch specialist.

Q: Is the 24 mm Santos Galbée only for women?
A: Not necessarily. While this size is often chosen for a more delicate fit and is listed here under women's watches, many people wear Santos models across traditional gender categories. The best choice comes down to your preferred look and wrist size.
