The Cartier Pasha is one of the brand’s most iconic timepieces, celebrated for its groundbreaking design and unconventional aesthetic. It was originally launched in the 1930s and traces its origins to a timepiece reportedly commissioned by the Pasha of Marrakesh, Thami El Glaoui, a man known for his refined taste and appreciation of luxury. The Pasha’s signature design includes a round case with a flared bezel, a crown protected by a screw-down cover, and typically a distinctive bracelet that integrates seamlessly with the case. Over the decades, the Pasha has evolved but always retained its heritage of elegance and utility. The present model is one of the rarest and most exquisite versions of the Pasha ever created, with apparently only five known examples produced in platinum. It is powered by an automatic movement ideated together with Gerald Genta, a remarkable feature for a model that is typically seen with manual or quartz mechanisms. This particular version is equipped with a perpetual calendar, moon phase complication, and a minute repeater, which makes it an incredibly sophisticated timepiece. The minute repeater function, which chimes the time at the press of the button at 9 o’clock, is a rare complication even in high-end watchmaking, adding another layer of craftsmanship to this already impressive piece. The watch is in remarkable condition, reflecting the meticulous care taken by its owners over the years. The platinum case and intricate dial with its perpetual calendar and moon phase displays, along with the minute repeater, make this model not only a remarkable technical achievement but also a symbol of Cartier’s ability to create exceptional, one-of-a-kind watches.
