Introduction
Introduced in the 1980s, the Cartier Pasha reimagined one of the maison's most distinctive historic designs for the modern era. Widely attributed to legendary designer Gérald Genta, the Pasha combined Cartier's unmistakable elegance with a bold sporting aesthetic, creating one of the most recognisable luxury sports watches of its generation.
Offered here is the 18K yellow gold Pasha Chronograph ref. 2111 from circa 2000. Combining an automatic chronograph movement with the collection's signature chained cabochon crown, oversized screw-down pushers and beautifully executed guilloché dial, it perfectly captures the character and exuberance of Cartier at the turn of the millennium.

THE DIAL
The ivory dial showcases a variety of finely executed guilloché finishes, creating impressive depth and texture. Applied 18K yellow gold pinball hour markers, a large applied gold 12, black painted Roman numerals, blued steel sword hands and unusual oval recessed chronograph registers combine to create one of the Pasha collection's most distinctive and elegant displays.
THE CONSTRUCTION
The rounded 18K yellow gold case is unmistakably Pasha, featuring the collection's signature chained cabochon-set crown alongside matching cabochon-topped chronograph pushers. A sapphire display case back reveals the movement within, while the sculptural case design balances Cartier elegance with sporting presence.
