Cartier Pasha Golf Automatic Wristwatch

Partially verified

This Cartier Pasha Golf wristwatch, produced in the later 1990s, is constructed from 18K yellow gold. It features a three-body, solid, polished case with Vendome-style lugs, a concave bezel, and a sapphire-set winding crown protection cap. The case back is transparent and secured by eight screws. A key functional element of this model is the incorporation of five pushers equipped with semi-precious stone buttons, which operate four digital registers used for tracking golf strokes; the pusher positioned at nine o'clock serves as a reset function. The watch is powered by the Caliber 889/1 automatic movement. It is fitted with an 18K yellow gold link bracelet that secures with a double deployant clasp. The piece is signed on the dial, case, and movement and includes a sapphire crystal with four integrated cyclops lenses to magnify the digital registers.

Object description

Case and Dial Design

The watch is housed in an 18K yellow gold, three-body polished case measuring 38 mm in diameter. The design includes distinctive Vendome-style lugs and a concave bezel. A prominent feature is the winding crown, which is shielded by a sapphire-set protection cap. The case exterior is equipped with five pushers, each adorned with a semi-precious stone, designed for the operation of the golf stroke-counting function, with the pusher located at the nine o'clock position designated for resetting the registers.

The silver guilloché dial is organized with painted radial Roman numerals, positioned on a plain outer reserve. It includes yellow gold dots, a concentric minute and seconds track, and inner Arabic minute divisions. Four dedicated apertures are positioned on the dial to register golf stroke counts, with the sapphire crystal over the dial featuring four cyclops lenses to enhance their readability. The display is completed with luminous blued steel lozenge-shaped hands.

Movement and Mechanical Details

The timepiece is driven by the Caliber 889/1 movement, which features rhodium-plated bridges and plates finished with fausses-côtes decoration. The movement is constructed with 34 jewels and utilizes a straight-line lever escapement. Accuracy is maintained by a monoetallic balance that has been adjusted to five positions.

Additional mechanical features of the movement include a shock-absorption system to protect the balance staff and a self-compensating flat balance-spring. The dial, case, and movement are all signed by Cartier, identifying the watch as a production of the firm.
