CARTIER PASHA REF. 820903 18KT YELLOW GOLD
The Cartier Pasha is undoubtedly one of the most iconic timepieces of all time. The origins of the Pasha story lie in the 1930s. The watch was commissioned to Louis Cartier in 1932 by the Pasha of Marrakech, Thami El Glaoui. Until the 80s, this model was a unique piece that created an exotic and mysterious aura around it. The Pasha we know today finally appeared in 1985 and it was designed by the Cartier team together with the legendary watch designer Gerald Genta. The result of this collaboration was a masterpiece with a 38mm case, Arabic numerals dials and caseback with screws. To ensure the water resistance of the watch, Cartier decided to protect the crown with the cabochon cover connected to the case.
Made in 1986, this Pasha ref.820903 features an unusual and beautiful silver dial with Arabic numerals. The beauty of this timepieces is enhanced by the 18 yellow gold case that shows a very intriguing oxidation that further attests the superb quality of this timepiece. Reference and serial number are still clearly visible on caseback, dial has no flaws, movement works perfectly, cabochon is perfect without dings. The “Vendôme”-type lugs, the graduated unidirectional bezel and the iconic blue cabochon further enhance the charm of this timepiece.
