Notes

Pasha de CartierThe next lots of Pasha wristwatches are unusual in that they are engraved on the back with the year of production-1989, 1990, and 1991 respectively-which was Cartier's practice for a few years. This system was abandoned and the serial numbers and references were again mentioned on the timepieces.
