Introduced in the 1980s, this iconic model was crafted by the renowned watch designer Gerald Genta, who drew inspiration from a custom watch made for the Pasha of Marrakesh in the mid-20th century. The Pasha had requested a robust, waterproof gold wristwatch suitable for swimming, laying the foundation for this esteemed collection. The present 30 009 model features an 18K yellow-gold case in remarkable conditions and paired with a unidirectional rotating bezel and a sapphire crystal. Its ivory dial showcases Art Deco numerals and luminous hour markers, enhancing its vintage charm. The watch is powered by a quartz movement and includes chronograph functions, highlighted by striking blue sub-dials for seconds, 30 minutes, and 12 hours, along with a date complication. It boasts a curvaceous round case with large, bulbous chronograph pushers, each adorned with sapphire cabochons. The solid crown, also featuring a sapphire cabochon, is attached to the right side of the case by a small chain. Completing the watch is a solid 18K yellow-gold bracelet, seamlessly linked to the case through the Vendôme lugs. Historically, the Pasha collection marks a significant milestone in Cartier’s watchmaking heritage.
