Cartier Santos-Dumont CPCP Platinum 27mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 27 mm case suggests

Cartier Santos-Dumont CPCP Platinum 27mm measures 36 mm lug-to-lug on a 27 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.33 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 96% of the 8,093 watches in this database and shorter than 72% of the 193 Cartier watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 40 mm (1.57 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 48 mm (1.89 in) it starts to look compact. Below 36 mm (1.42 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
