Cartier Pasha de Cartier Calendar

About this reference

The Cartier Pasha de Cartier Calendar reference 30002 was produced during the late 1980s and 1990s as part of the brand’s high-end mechanical revival. This 38mm model is constructed from 18k yellow gold and features the signature screw-down crown cap attached by a chain. Collectors value this reference for its Frédéric Piguet-based caliber 1185, an integrated automatic chronograph movement that also supports a full calendar display including day, date, month, and moon phase. The dial typically features a cream finish with four sub-dials and blue steel hands. On the secondary market, this reference generally trades between $12,000 and $18,000 depending on the presence of the original gold bracelet or a leather strap. A notable production detail is the use of a sapphire exhibition caseback, which was uncommon for Cartier during this era, allowing visibility of the finished movement.
