Our View

The Pasha occupies a unique position within Cartier’s history, combining the elegance of the maison’s traditional dress watches with the practicality and presence of a luxury sports watch. Its signature crown cap, bold Arabic numerals and distinctive round case design make it instantly recognisable and unlike anything else produced by Cartier during the period.

This 18k yellow gold example is particularly appealing thanks to its attractive champagne dial, desirable 38mm case size and complete accompanying accessories. The inclusion of the original papers dated 1991 further enhances its collectability and provenance. As interest in vintage and neo-vintage Cartier continues to strengthen, the Pasha remains one of the brand’s most distinctive and increasingly sought-after collector models.
