Pasha Skeleton

The Cartier Pasha Skeleton draws attention with its openworked dial that transforms the classic Pasha design into a showcase of movement architecture. Originally conceived in the 1980s, the Pasha was Cartier’s answer to the demand for a sport-luxury watch, and the Skeleton variant elevates this legacy with a modern, technical twist. The cut-out Arabic numerals and visible bridges make the movement itself the centerpiece, appealing to those who appreciate both Cartier’s design language and mechanical artistry.

This 41mm model typically houses the Caliber 9624 MC, a hand-wound movement developed in-house, visible through both the dial and exhibition caseback. Reference numbers like WHPA0007 denote the stainless steel version, while precious metal variants (such as rose gold) command higher prices. The Pasha Skeleton’s 30m water resistance means it’s built for elegance rather than aquatic adventure, and the screw-down crown cap with chain—a signature detail—adds both flair and functional heritage.

Pricing varies based on case material, production year, and condition, with gold models carrying a premium. Original box, papers, and undamaged sapphire crystal further influence value. When evaluating a Pasha Skeleton, scrutinize the movement finishing and ensure the skeletonized bridges are free from chips or scratches, as these are difficult to restore and directly impact collectability. This model appeals to those seeking a distinctive Cartier with both horological substance and unmistakable style.
