Visual Description

The Ref. 2475 is the Pasha at its most practical: a 35 mm round stainless steel case, about 9 to 9.7 mm thick, with the Pasha's signature crown cover hanging from a chain link. The dial is most often white, with bold Arabic numerals and applied batons, and a double-window large date at 6 o'clock replaces the small date window of other Pasha C models; a blue dial is also documented. A steel bracelet with a double folding clasp completes a watch built to be worn daily.

Reference Significance

The 2475 is likely the Pasha most owners actually hold. Cartier introduced the Pasha C in 1995 as a smaller, all-steel entry to the line, and the Grande Date version gave it a feature people use every day. It trades steadily and affordably at auction, around $2,000 to $3,000, which makes it one of the easier ways into a Gerald Genta-era Cartier design.

Its Cal. 052 is a modified ETA 2892, a reliable, widely serviced automatic, so ownership is straightforward.

Historical Context

The Pasha de Cartier arrived in 1985, designed under Gerald Genta and drawing on a 1932 commission for the Pasha of Marrakech. The 38 mm full-size models, such as the steel 2378 and 2379, came next, and in 1995 Cartier added the 35 mm Pasha C as the first solid-steel Pasha line. Dated 2475 examples cluster around 2000 and the early 2000s; we have not found documented start or end years for the reference.

What to Look For

Check the large date first: both windows should change cleanly at midnight and sit level in their apertures. The crown cover's chain link is easily lost or replaced, so confirm it is present and original. The steel case and bracelet should show crisp edges and tight links; a stretched bracelet or soft edges point to heavy wear or polishing.

Match the case back reference to 2475 and the movement to the Cal. 052. Box and papers add value, though at this price level condition and a recent service matter more.

How to tell it apart

What separates a Ref. 2475 from its neighbors, and what to check before you buy or sell one.

What is a Pasha de Cartier Ref. 2475 worth?

Public auction and dealer results from October 2023 to October 2026 for the 35 mm steel automatic Pasha de Cartier, which includes Ref. 2475, come to $2,100 to $2,250, median $2,200 across 2 sales. Condition, service history, and the original box and papers move an individual watch within that range.

What is the Pasha Ref. 2475?

The Pasha C Grande Date: a 35 mm stainless steel automatic with a double-window large date at 6 o'clock, Arabic numerals, a crown cover attached by a chain link and a steel bracelet with a double folding clasp. It runs on the Cartier Cal. 052, built on an ETA 2892 base with 21 jewels.

What is the Pasha C?

The smaller, steel Pasha that Cartier introduced in 1995, ten years after the original Pasha de Cartier of 1985. At 35 mm it was an entry point to the line, and the 2475 adds a large date to it.

How do I tell the 2475 from the other steel Pashas?

Look at the date and the size. The 2475 is 35 mm with a large double-window date at 6 o'clock. The 35 mm Pasha C refs. 2324 and 1031 have a small date window between 4 and 5 o'clock. The 38 mm refs. 2378 and 2379 belong to the full-size Pasha de Cartier.

What movement is in the Ref. 2475?

The automatic Cartier Cal. 052, a modified ETA 2892 with 21 jewels and about 42 hours of power reserve, according to Heritage, Gazette Drouot and The Swiss Collector. It is a robust, widely serviced movement.

Does the 2475 have another reference number?

Later Cartier papers use W-prefixed article numbers for Pasha C models, and one aggregator pairs the 2475 with W31055M7. We have not confirmed that from a primary source, so go by the 2475 on the case back.
