Cartier Pasha Power Reserve — The complication in service of elegance
This Cartier Pasha vintage, reference 2388, produced in 1999, is one of the most sophisticated versions of the iconic Pasha collection. Born in 1985 from a design by Gérald Genta for Cartier, the Pasha established itself as a watch that is both sporty and refined, immediately recognizable by its screw-down crown protected by its famous chain-link cap. This Power Reserve version further elevates the piece with a set of complications that are as technical as they are aesthetic.
The silver guilloché dial, a true centerpiece, displays a finely crafted geometric radiating motif animated by several indications: the power reserve indicator in a circular arc, revealing the movement’s remaining autonomy, and the 24-hour counter adorned with a guilloché world map, allowing a second time reference to be tracked. The date aperture and luminescent hands complete this technical composition. The Cartier signature and the mention “Swiss Made” confirm the authenticity of this piece.
The round 39mm steel case features the emblematic codes of the Pasha: the graduated bezel, the screw-down crown with blue cabochon protected by its chain-link cap, and the Arabic numerals 3 and 9. Driven by an automatic movement, this Pasha combines precision mechanics with wrist presence. The sapphire crystal protects the dial, and the sapphire caseback allows the movement to be admired.
Mounted on a black alligator strap fitted with the original Buckle folding Cartier clasp, this vintage Cartier watch of 39mm is aimed at connoisseurs of fine complications and iconic design. Sold complete with its original box and papers — a precious asset for a piece of this category. An exceptional Swiss watch for men and women, selected, authenticated and serviced by Atelier Victor. Fast and secure international shipping.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is the power reserve function?

What does the 24-hour counter with the world map mean?
The sub-dial adorned with a guilloché world map displays the time over 24 hours, making it possible in particular to distinguish day from night or to follow a second time zone. It is a prized feature for travelers and a magnificent aesthetic detail unique to this reference. -
