It is decorated with guilloché patterns and includes a chapter ring with Arabic numerals, with larger Arabic numerals at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. The center of the dial is dominated by prominent bridge work forming the Cartier double “C” logo. The tourbillon carriage is integrated into the dial at the 6 o'clock position.

- Movement and Signatures
- The watch is powered by the manual-winding caliber 492 MC. This movement is specifically utilized within the Collection Privée Cartier Paris series. The watch carries the signature of the brand on the dial, the case, and the movement.

The movement is visible through a circular exhibition aperture set into the caseback. The construction reflects the integration of high-horology complications within the Pasha case architecture. The caliber 492 MC is manual-winding and supports the tourbillon function displayed at the base of the dial, while the caseback engraving confirms the individual number of the piece within its limited series.
