The Cartier Santos de Cartier ref. WGSA0028 is a medium-size automatic model that combines the collection’s distinctive geometric design with the warmth of an 18K rose-gold case. Its 35.1 mm case is only 8.83 mm thick and features the exposed bezel screws, softly rounded square profile and seven-sided crown that define the modern Santos aesthetic. The opaline silver dial is paired with Roman numerals and blued-steel sword-shaped hands, while water resistance to 100 metres gives the watch useful everyday versatility.
Power comes from Cartier’s automatic calibre 1847 MC, providing the mechanical foundation for the contemporary Santos de Cartier collection. The watch is supplied with both an alligator-skin strap and a calfskin strap, each compatible with Cartier’s QuickSwitch system, allowing the appearance of the watch to be changed without conventional tools. A matching rose-gold folding buckle completes the configuration.
Reference WGSA0028 is particularly distinctive within the Santos de Cartier family because it combines the balanced proportions of the medium case with a full precious-metal construction while retaining the collection’s practical modern features. The silver dial keeps the presentation restrained, allowing the rose-gold case and characteristic Santos geometry to carry the visual emphasis.
