The Santos Skeleton drops a fully open-worked movement into Cartier's oldest case architecture — square case, exposed-screw bezel, mechanics on full display. In Iced Out trim, pavé runs the case and bezel, putting movement drama and jewellery presence in one piece. It draws collectors who want both, and it trades under boutique retail.

Both refs — WHSA0015 and WHSA0019 — are Large Santos at ~39.7–39.8mm, an accessible wear. The variable is metal mix: all-steel Iced Out vs steel/yellow Iced Out, the latter a consistent premium. On any diamond Cartier, inspect bezel and lug stones — chips, loose settings, or non-factory replacements hit value and serviceability. In-house skeleton caliber; factory service records and original papers strongly preferred, since diamond pieces face extra authentication scrutiny. Skip aftermarket stone additions.
Santos dates to 1904, relaunched commercially in 1978 as a sport-luxury icon; the 2018 redesign brought quick-change straps and, after, the Skeleton variant that defines current supply.
References in stock: WHSA0015, WHSA0019.

This Cartier Santos de Cartier Skeleton 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.
