## The 35 mm Case Cartier Didn't Need to Touch for Two Decades
The Ref. 2324 is Cartier's answer to how a sport line can grow up without losing itself. 35 mm steel, caliber 049, produced from roughly 1992 to 2012. Today it ranks among the most sought-after Pasha variants on the pre-owned market. Buy an early 2324 and you're getting a tritium dial and hands — up until around 1999, the indices glowed radioactively; after that, Cartier switched to Super-LumiNova. Visually, barely any difference. Pricewise, with the right buyer, very much so.
## What Happened in 1995 — and Why It Was More Than a Rename
That year, the Ref. 2324 became the Pasha C. Nothing changed technically in the caliber or case, but Cartier introduced W-reference numbers that, for the first time, encoded the dial. W31074M7 denotes the white dial with smooth bezel; W31024M7 identifies the salmon grid dial. If you're comparing two visually similar listings, start here: the W-number tells you exactly what you're looking at.
## The Serial Number as Your Fastest Authenticity Check
From 2009, Cartier switched to randomized alphanumeric serials — six digits, two letters. Any 2324 with the old purely numeric format therefore dates from before 2009. That sounds like a minor detail, but when buying a used piece it's one of the most reliable first moves: pull the serial number, check the format, narrow down the age. Most sellers don't know this — which is an edge that pays off in price negotiations.
Brand profile: Cartier
Cartier watches (Santos, Tank, Ballon Bleu) are popular targets for counterfeiters. The distinctive design (Roman numerals, blue sword hands) is recognizable — but also easy to copy.
Key authenticity features
- Sapphire cabochon crown: on genuine pieces it's SET INTO THE METAL (bezel-set); on fakes it's usually GLUED. Test: loupe — adhesive residue around the edge = fake.
- Bracelet screws: genuine Cartier bracelets ALWAYS have visible screw slots. Pins instead = fake.
- 'Swiss Made' at 6 o'clock: MICROPRINTED directly beneath the 6 o'clock marker. Fakes often omit it or print it crooked.
- Guilloché pattern: under 10x magnification, EXACTLY parallel and uniformly deep. Irregularities = fake.
Serial number format: Cartier serial numbers: alphanumeric, on the case back. Older models: number located between the crystal ring and the case. New purchases come with a Cartier passport.

What should I look out for when buying a Cartier Pasha C?
The key things to check when buying a Cartier Pasha C are: 1) that the serial number and reference match the papers, 2) the condition of the case and bezel (scratches, signs of polishing), 3) completeness of box and warranty card (a 10–15 % price premium for a full set), 4) a documented service history, 5) an independent authenticity check — advisable from a purchase price of 5,000 EUR.
How do I tell whether a Cartier Pasha C is genuine?
With a Cartier, counterfeits can usually be spotted from several details: the weight and material quality of the case, the precise execution of the bezel and dial, correctly engraved serial numbers at the prescribed depth, and the behaviour of the movement.
