- Inspired by a 1930s wristwatch commissioned by the Pasha of Marrakesh, Thami El Glaoui, the Cartier Pasha has an intriguing history interwoven with the brand's dedication to innovation and style. When El Glaoui ordered a timepiece from Louis Cartier suited to his active lifestyle, the result was a yellow gold watch resilient enough for water and sports, with a larger case and protected crown and dial – features virtually unheard of at the time.

- Decades later, the Pasha was reborn during the quartz crisis of the 1980s under Alain Dominique Perrin, then CEO of Cartier. With its masculine appeal and iconic elegance intact, the new Pasha was a design collaboration with the great Gerald Genta.

- Today's modern Pasha, reintroduced in 2019, continues the spirit of distinction and exclusivity. The present example is a hard-to-come-by special edition made for the Middle Eastern market featuring a lovely dark green sunray guilloché dial, Eastern Arabic numerals and a green cabochon crown. This Pasha preserved in exceptional condition with its full set of accessories embodies both Cartier's rich heritage and its timeless, sophisticated allure.
