Q: Is the Cartier Pasha 35mm a good everyday size?
A: Yes. A 35 mm Pasha wears as a classic medium size and suits a wide range of wrists. This watch has a bracelet perimeter of approximately 17.5 cm, so it should suit many slim to average wrists comfortably, while still giving the watch a refined, noticeable presence.

Q: Is this watch automatic or battery-powered?
A: This Cartier Pasha is fitted with an automatic movement. That means it is self-winding through normal wrist motion rather than powered by a battery. If left unworn for a period, it may stop and need to be reset before use.

Q: Does this watch have a date function?
A: Yes. This model features a date display on the dial, making it practical for daily wear as well as collectable for its vintage Cartier design.

Q: What design details make the Pasha so distinctive?
A: The Pasha is known for its round case, bold dial layout, and signature crown design. On this piece, standout details include the white guilloché dial, blue cabochon crown, and the two-tone stainless steel and yellow gold construction.

Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: Cartier Pasha models are well known for their sporty, water-resistant design, but with any vintage pre-owned watch it is safest not to assume the original rating still applies unless the watch has been freshly pressure-tested. We recommend avoiding swimming, showering, or full water exposure unless you have had the seals and water resistance checked by a qualified watchmaker.

Q: What is included with this watch?
A: This listing is for the watch only. No box, papers, or other extras are included. Everything included with the purchase is reflected in the product information on this page.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: This piece is in good pre-owned condition overall. The case and bracelet show light scratches, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface wear consistent with careful use and age.

Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist?
A: The current bracelet perimeter is approximately 17.5 cm. If your wrist is smaller, a watchmaker can usually remove links for a better fit. If your wrist is larger, you may need additional links or prefer to explore an alternative bracelet solution.

Q: How should I care for a vintage Cartier Pasha?
A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after wear and avoid contact with chemicals, perfume, extreme heat, or high humidity. As with most mechanical watches, regular servicing is recommended over time, and it is wise to have water resistance checked periodically, especially before any contact with water.
