This Cartier Pasha ref. 1040 is a noteworthy timepiece with a rich heritage, representing Cartier’s evolution in luxury sports watches. 

Designed by Gerald Genta in the 1980s, the modern Pasha was inspired by a 1930s creation for the Pasha of Marrakech, who requested a waterproof watch suitable for his active lifestyle. 

Genta’s redesign brought a bold, circular case, Vendôme-style lugs, and a distinctive screw-down crown cap adorned with a blue sapphire cabochon, maintaining Cartier’s legacy of blending functionality and elegance.

The ref. 1040 has stainless steel case with a 38mm diameter, providing a versatile size for both daily wear and formal occasions. The case is robustly constructed, with its original and fully signed caseback secured to the case by eight screws and a sapphire crystal embedded below the bezel to ensure a superiror resistance. Its waterproof design reflects the watch’s origins as a durable yet refined accessory.

The case is completed by an un-directional turning bezel, by a screw-down crown protector with its signature blue cabochon sapphire and it is in an excellent condition with only very light traces of use
