Pasha de Cartier

Gérald Genta’s 1985 design for Cartier: a round case with a square inside the dial, the screwed-down crown protected by a chain-tethered cap. The 2020 relaunch (WHPA0007 Chronograph, WSPA0009 three-hand) brought the family back as a 41mm contemporary sport-dress reference on the cal. 1847 MC and 1904-CH MC.

Which ref to buy

The Pasha launched in 1985 and brings a round case with a distinctive screw-down crown cap and an old-money sporting identity. The 2020 relaunch refreshed the family with modern sizing while keeping the core design cues. It attracts buyers who want a Cartier with more presence than the Tank but less ubiquity than the Santos.

Cartier Pasha de Cartier Chronograph · WHPA0007Consider
Pasha Chronograph -- the Pasha with added complication and maximum presence.
The case for it:
The chronograph layout works well inside the Pasha's substantial round case. For buyers who want a Cartier chronograph with a heritage narrative, the Pasha Chrono is the most interesting option in the current lineup.
Consider instead if:
Large case and loud personality limit versatility. The Pasha Chrono is a statement piece -- buyers who want a workhorse will find it exhausting.
