Cartier—the very name itself personifies the premier brand in luxury goods.

Attached to the world-famous Pasha line of watches is the fanciful story that a pasha of Marrakesh once asked Cartier to create a luxury watch he could wear whilst swimming.

In this timepiece, sumptuous 18K yellow gold beckons to all who pay attention to the finer things in life.

For all those in your orbit, surely the unidirectionally rotating bezel with dive scale and stylized Arabic numerals will catch the light and be a treat to behold. Lovely blue sapphire cabochons adorn the pushers as well as the cap of the winding crown.

Moving to the grey dial, a gorgeous sun ray decoration radiates a sense of light and warmth. In a unique arrangement, this robust quartz-driven timepiece delivers a subdial at 12 to read the date and two chronograph counters: look for a 12-hour counter between 7 and 8 and a 30-minute counter between 4 and 5.

There is a center seconds hand and a finely printed track in white along the outer edge of the dial. Luminous hands and dots make for easy viewing in low light.

The 18K yellow gold case measures a comfortable 35 mm in diameter, a slim 10.2 mm in height, and rests upon a black alligator leather strap with an 18K yellow gold deployant buckle.

Additional features include a solid caseback, 30 m / 3 atm water resistance, and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

Adding legendary timepieces to one’s collection is always a thrill, and we are pleased to offer this 18K yellow gold Cartier Pasha de Cartier chronograph here at attractive price.
