Born from a 1930s water-resistant design made for the Pasha of Marrakesh and revived in the 1980s by Gérald Genta, the Cartier Pasha is one of the maison’s most iconic and unconventional creations. This reference W31005H3, dating to the late 1990s, captures that bold spirit in a perfectly balanced 38mm steel case — sporty, elegant, and unmistakably Cartier.
The white dial features bold black Roman numerals, blued sword hands, and a subtle date at 4:30. Its tritium lume has aged gracefully, adding a touch of vintage charm. The signature screw-down crown cap, attached by a small chain and set with a sapphire cabochon, gives the watch its unique silhouette and water-resistant heritage.
Inside beats the Cartier Caliber 191, based on the trusted ETA 2892-A2 — a reliable, slim automatic movement renowned for precision and durability. The watch is paired with its original Cartier steel bracelet, with polished center links and a refined brushed finish, suitable for wrists up to approximately 19cm. A distinctive and collectible piece of late-‘90s Cartier design, blending mechanical quality with daring aesthetics.
