Product Information
Product code: W1583cc Category: Sold Watches.The history of the Cartier Pasha goes back to when the Sultan, or Pasha, of Marrakech, commissioned Louis Cartier to create both a a luxurious watch that he could wear for his royal duties, but also a durable watch that could then be worn in the swimming pool. The Cartier Pasha was designed with its ingenious screw down crown cap attached to a small chain, and is therefore regarded as Cartier’s first waterproof watch.
With such a distinctive design, the dial is also very unique in that it has a round dial with a square minute marker in the centre. Combined with the off-set date window at 4 o’clock instead of the more common 3 o’clock placement, all of this results in such a great looking watch that is perfect for any occasion.
Made in a 18 carat yellow gold and stainless steel case that measures 38mm across plus the signature looking blue cabachon cut spinel set crown, this is a watch that will always be admired.
Powered by the 27 jewelled automatic Cartier calibre 191 that runs perfect and comes with our twelve month warranty, and no matter the occasion or time of day, there is little doubt that this Cartier Pasha will always be admired.

A brief history on the Cartier Pasha:
The Cartier Pasha was named after the Sultan, or Pasha, of Marrakech, who commisioned Louis Cartier to create both a a luxurious watch that he could wear for his royal duties, but also a durable watch that could then be worn in the swimming pool. The Cartier Pasha was designed with its ingenious screw down crown cap attached to a small chain, and is therefore regarded as Cartier’s first waterproof watch.
In 1943 it was released in the boutiques as one of their standard collections, and this was a design that went through both periods of popularity as well as being less desirable over the years. Redesigned in 1985 by the famous GĂ©rald Genta who also designed Patek Philippe’s Nautilus as well as Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, he re-created it to develop the feminine Miss Pasha series.
The Pasha is easily identifiable for not only having the screw cap on the side protecting the crown, but the dial having a rather unique design in which the round case and dial is offset by a square minute track.
