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 is housed in an 18K yellow gold case with a sapphire crystal, an onyx cabochon crown with a yellow gold protector, and an awesome gold timing bezel. It features a black dial with applique indices, and a date window whimsically placed at 4. This piece is outfitted with an incredible yellow gold multi link bracelet.
Unique, elegant and cool as all hell, the Pasha is a standout model in a sea of same-same timepieces.
