Pre-Owned Cartier Pasha 40950149/AS07094

WHY WE LOVE IT

There’s nothing like a compelling origin story. That of the Pasha is one such tale!

While Parisian jeweler to the stars Cartier may be best known in horological circles for its famed Tank watch, the French firm produced — and continues to produce — numerous other watch models that deserve equal billing for their unique and sumptuous designs.

The Pasha is a fine example. Launched in 1985, it was supposedly inspired by the lines of a one-off commission from 1932 for the Pasha of Marrakesh that featured a screw-down, waterproof housing over the crown. None other than famed watch designer Gérald Genta was the one who revived the design in the 1980s, launching yet another winning collection for the famed Parisian jeweler and watchmaker.

This particular Pasha from the 2020s is housed in a 35mm rose gold case with a sapphire crystal, a sapphire cabochon crown with a rose gold protector, and a polished bezel. It features a sunburst silver and guilloché dial with painted black Arabic indices, sapphire cardinal indices, a matching, blued steel ‘sword’ handset, and an inner, closed minute track. Powered by the Cartier 1847 MC automatic movement visible via display caseback, it comes paired to a blue alligator leather strap with a signed, rose gold push-button deployant clasp.

Unique, elegant and cool as all hell, the Pasha is a standout model in a sea of same-same timepieces.
