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. With an eye-catching green guilloché dial marked by Arabian numerals, the present limited edition of just 200 pieces was created exclusively for the Middle Eastern market. The present Pasha preserved in exceptional condition with its full set of accessories embodies both Cartier's rich heritage and its timeless, sophisticated allure., With the Constitution of 1848 came a new standard for luxury in France. Founded one year prior by Louis-Francois Cartier, the house of Cartier was one of the first to use platinum in jewelry making. This incredibly expensive material became the stepping-stone for Cartier to experiment in form, mechanisms and attitude. It helped men move from pocket watches to wristwatches, effectively making the watch much more functional and prominent in a man's overall wardrobe.
