Royalty wore Cartier's jewels first, starting in 1847 Paris, and the watchmaking respect came later through design. The case is the story — Santos, Tank, Ballon Bleu — not the engine inside. That's why it sits comfortably with both jewelers and collectors. From where I sit, full-set Tank and Santos hold their value and stay liquid. Skeletonized or gem-set examples ride condition and rarity. Send a wire, dodge the card fee, buy direct.
Buyer’s note Tank and Santos hold value well; focus on full-set examples. Skeletonized or gem-set pieces trade on condition and rarity.
Model names, references and specifications are referenced from the official Cartier Official (www.cartier.com). Trademarks and product imagery rights remain with the manufacturer; product photography shown is of our own inventory.

This Cartier stock sits on a working wholesale desk at 650 S. Hill St., in the middle of the downtown Los Angeles jewelry district — not in a boutique and not in someone else’s showcase. We own what is listed, which is why the number on the page is a trade number rather than a retail one.
Every listing carries two figures: the card price, which is the price shown, and the wire price, which takes roughly 3.4% off. If you are local you are welcome to come and see the piece on the bench before you buy — call the desk first and it will be out and ready. If you are not, it goes out overnight and fully insured.
