Inquire NowOriginally designed in the 1930s for the Pasha of Marrakech, the Cartier Pasha was reinterpreted in 1985 by Gérald Genta, who refined the model into the contemporary icon it remains today, removing the protective grid but retaining the signature chained crown cap. The design’s distinctive architecture and rounded geometry quickly established it as one of Cartier’s most recognizable creations.
The present example elevates the Pasha’s legacy to a level of extraordinary horological complexity. Cased in 18K yellow gold and lavishly set with diamonds, it combines a minute repeater, perpetual calendar, and moon phase display, an exceptionally rare combination within the Cartier repertoire.
Its mother-of-pearl dial, with applied gilt markers and charming guilloché engraving, balances the indications for day, date, month, leap year, and moon phases in elegant harmony. Activated by a sapphire-set button, the minute repeater adds an acoustic dimension of refinement.
Key features:
– Pasha de Cartier | 18K Yellow Gold Case | Diamond-Set Bezel
– Self-Winding Minute Repeater | Perpetual Calendar | Moon Phases
– Hand-Engraved Movement Visible Through Sapphire Back
– Mother-of-Pearl Dial with Applied Indexes
A triumph of design and complication, this remarkable Pasha unites Gérald Genta’s creative vision with Cartier’s enduring artistry, an exceptional fusion of elegance, rarity, and mechanical sophistication.
