Description

Cartier de Pasha pays tribute to the Pasha of Marrakesh 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 or Cartier’s timeless elegance. Over the past 35 years, we have seen several versions of the Pasha de Cartier with various complications, but the base design has seldom, changed, making this another iconic reference from the brand, joining the ranks of the Tank and Santos.

The present reference WSPA0022 was introduced in 2021 as a special edition for the Middle East. An instant hit when launched, this model retains all the iconic features of Pasha de Cartier. It features a 41mm stainless steel case surrounding a green flinqué dial with Hindi numerals, blued steel hands and a date aperture at 4 o’clock.

On the inside is the automatic manufacture Caliber 1847 MC. The case offers 100m water resistance and comes with an integrated steel bracelet with “SmartLink” adjustment system. It also comes with an additional second strap in green alligator skin, with interchangeable steel deployant buckle.
