Cartier Santos Carrée Ref. 2961 "Ghost Dial" – 1988
Two-Tone Icon with a Rare Slate Grey Soul
This Cartier Santos Carrée Ref. 2961 from 1988 brings a rare twist to an icon. With its slate grey “ghost” dial — a Swiss-only brushed finish that changes with the light — this watch feels mysterious, understated, and highly collectible. The gold-tone sword hands and sapphire cabochon crown add just the right touch of contrast.
Crafted in two-tone steel and 18k yellow gold, the 29mm case is paired with the signature Cartier bracelet featuring golden screws — a design rooted in the original 1904 Santos, reimagined in the bold language of the 80s.
Powered by a Cartier automatic movement, this reference 2961 is more than just stylish — it’s a rare configuration, worn effortlessly on slim wrists and sought after by collectors for its unique presence.
