Cartier de Pasha pays tribute to the Pasha of Marrakech Thami El Glaoui, a lover of fine watchmaking and a lifelong customer of Louis Cartier. The reference was launched in 1985, designed by none other than the legend Gerald Genta himself. Although the case design was large and masculine, the dial boasted Cartier’s timeless elegance. Over the past 35 years, we have seen several versions of the Pasha de Cartier with various complications, keeping that elegance and charm that has always distinguished it. The present Pasha in steel is one of the newest modern iterations of the model when it was reintroduced in 2019. Bearing some unusual features, such as a desirable green guilloché dial with four Arabian numerals, the present example was made as an exclusive limited edition of 200 pieces for the Middle Eastern market. Definitely unusual and, in some ways, groundbreaking, this watch perfectly fits the wrist and shines thanks to its degradè dial that matches with the green cabochon attached to the case by a small chain. The distinctive Pasha watch stands out, while at the same time, respects the Cartier watchmaking tradition and the present lot is absolutely elegant and collectable, also thanks to its original warranty and additional green strap with Cartier deployant.
