There is more to Cartier than the Tank. Much more.

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 one such silhouette. 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 cap 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 piece, a Reference W2PA0008, dates to 2023 and features a 35mm two tone stainless steel and rose gold case with a sapphire crystal; a concave, gold bezel; cabochon blue crown, crown protector; and a stunning silver guilloché dial featuring blue accents and a classic kite handset.

Outfitted on a multi-link two tone rose gold and stainless steel bracelet with a hidden deployant clasp, this piece has all the Pasha design hallmarks that have had collectors coming back for more for years.

Everyone knows the Tank. This is an opportunity to thoroughly enjoy its equally compelling sibling!
