Notes

The Cartier Pasha was created in 1985 and inspired by a 1943 design. It was named in honor of the Pasha of Marrakesh, a wellknown lover of Cartier watches. Several different watches of this type were produced: with or without glass-protecting bars, with engraved revolving bezel, with regular or perpetual calendar, with minute repeating mechanism, with chronograph, with two time zone dial etc.
