CARTIER SANTOS OCTAGON Ladies Automatic Stainless Steel Watch - WORN BY SUPERMODEL WINNIE HARLOW Gorgeous Original Condition - Worn to Miami Grand Prix - 1 Year Warranty Today's offering showcases this fabulous ladies Cartier Santos wristwatch that was personally worn by supermodel Winnie Harlow to the 2025 Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend. She chose it in collaboration with renowned stylist Brie Welch, best known for styling Katie Holmes. Included in the listing is a photo Ms. Harlow wearing this watch. I've pasted a quote from the article here: “Harlow only required that the pieces reflected what she herself would wear in the stands...She worked closely with Brie Welch, eBay's newly named resident stylist and the mastermind behind Katie Holmes's best outfits, to vet each of the pieces and style them into a racetrack campaign. (All with the Porsche in the backdrop, of course.) I really wanted all of the looks to really be like my style…because my taste and my style is very eclectic," Harlow says.” This Cartier watch: The Octagon is a seldom seen watch in the Santos line and is one of the affordable distinctive luxury watches. It is beautifully styled and its eight-sided bezel is suggestive of the iconic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. As mentioned, out of over 100,000 watches to choose from renowned stylist Brie Welch, best known for styling Katie Holmes, and Ms. Harlow chose this one to capture the look they were going for. This ladies Octagon features a stainless steel case with octagonal bezel, classic white Roman dial with blue steel "epee" hands, sapphire topped crown, and mechanical movement. Unlike the quartz version of the Santos, this more desirable mechanical example possesses an automatic movement and in a way showcases the timeless art of traditional watch making. It is all-original and presents as gorgeous condition - about a 9.5 out of 10. On the wrist it presents nearly like new. Its case presents as just short of perfect mint condition. On the wrist it presents as mint. Its untouched original dial is also mint. Its bracelet is just short of mint. Before Ms. Harlow wore it one was fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker (a $445 value) and has good reverser wheels for manual winding. Note that the stem and waterproofing gasket in the crown normally makes this model quite stiff to wind. That is not the case with this watch that winds very well with much less stiffness than most. It has not been worn or tried on since Ms. Harlow wore it. Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate. Also accompanying it is information from eBay showing its provenance for their photoshoot. Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center and also has done work for the Cartier Service Center.
