When Cartier introduced the Pasha in the 1980s, it wanted to give a new voice to its heritage. It was a time of renewed confidence in design, and the Maison sought a timepiece that could embody the spirit of its time without sacrificing its own aesthetic language. The result was a round, assertive, profoundly Parisian watch, yet with a modern and sporty presence.
The Pasha represents the meeting of luxury and boldness, between the geometric purity of Cartier design and a unique sense of strength. It is a watch unafraid to make a statement, yet does so with poise and grace. Even today, its recognizable shape and timeless charisma place it among the Maison's most singular creations—a symbol of refined confidence, capable of transcending the ages with the same elegance with which it was conceived.
The Cartier Pasha Chronograph ref. 2111 is one of the Maison's most captivating creations, combining architectural rigor and formal sensuality. Crafted in yellow gold, it features generous proportions and an intrinsic elegance that never yields to excess. The rotating bezel, screw-lock crown, and pushers embellished with blue cabochons express the quest for balance between functionality and ornamentation.
The silvered guilloché dial, with Roman numerals and blued steel hands, reveals Cartier's signature harmony: a visual language that displays time naturally, yet with a certain theatricality. The tricompax layout and discreet date window at six o'clock balance the design, while the automatic movement lends fluidity and reliability.
This piece, complete with its original red box, certificate, and international warranty, is in excellent condition. The black alligator strap enhances the warmth of the gold, adding a touch of understated elegance that makes the Pasha as versatile as it is distinctive.
