The "Cartier Pasha C35" that arrived today is a historically significant masterpiece, launched in 1995 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Pasha's birth.
The early-model white dial, in particular, is the most popular item in the series.
The Pasha's original design is said to be based on a watch that was created in 1943, itself based on the "Tank Étanché," a waterproof version of the Tank from the 1930s.
Beginning with the "Pasha de Cartier," redesigned and unveiled by Gérald Genta in 1985, various variations emerged.
This led to the birth of stainless steel models in 1990, and then, in 1995, the Pasha C35 was created to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Pasha's birth.
At the time, Cartier watches were popular among women, but the unisex Pasha C35 became an unprecedented hit.
It normalized women wearing larger watches,
truly becoming a historical masterpiece in the history of wristwatches.
This particular piece is one of the relatively early productions of the early model.
The luminous material on the dial and hands uses tritium,
and you can see that both have changed to a cream color over time.
Furthermore, the dial itself has also changed over time,
what was originally a pure white dial has changed to a pale lemon-like color.
This is a piece where you can truly feel the "aging" that is the real charm of vintage watches.
Personally, the Pasha C35 is also a watch I absolutely adore,
the excellence of its design goes without saying,
and not only do the watch size and wearing comfort fit perfectly,
the comfortable weight of the watch is also a favorite feature.
Also, as Cartier's first waterproof watch,
it has practical water resistance for use by the beach,
and the highly legible dial design is also captivating.
For most Japanese men, the 35mm case size is neither too big nor too small,
and is perfect for the coming season when short sleeves are more common.
Moreover, its versatility, excelling in a truly wide range of situations from formal to casual attire,
is exceptional.
This particular piece is very rare, as it still retains its original accessories.
The charm of a vintage watch that has aged is undeniably appealing, but
with its complete set of rare accessories and a price under 300,000 yen,
isn't it an outstanding presence in every aspect?
This is the early model of the Pasha C35, arriving after a long time.
The reason for its enduring popularity even after production has ceased for some time
is definitely something you'll realize not just by its appearance, but also when you actually use it.
There's no reason to miss out on a watch like this!
