  • Catalogue Essay

    The present limited edition pocket watch was launched by Panerai as a run of 50 pieces in 2014. Pocket watches were the one of the most elegant and sophisticated accessories a gentleman could own and this present model showcases the purity of Panerai’s design. The case features the simple and iconic cushion shape of the Radiomir and a simple face with baton hour markers and Arabic numerals, all filled with Super-Luminova.

    The 3-days power reserve is achieved by the maison’s in-house P.3001/10 caliber, which is viewable by opening the back cover of the watch, and has been decorated for an even bigger viewing pleasure. The large crown at 12 o’clock is protected by an arch where the matching white gold chain is attached. The present example comes as a full set with all its accessories.

  • Artist Biography

    Panerai

    Italian • 1860

    Known for its robust designs and large case sizes, Officine Panerai was established in 1860 by Giovanni Panerai in Florence, Italy. Around 1900, Giovanni's grandson Guido Panerai took over, and Panerai became the supplier to the Regia Marina — the Royal Italian Navy. After supplying the navy with high-precision instruments for a number of years, Officine Panerai created Radiomir, a radium-based powder that gives luminosity to the dials of sighting instruments and devices. By 1936, the Royal Italian Navy approached Panerai again with the request to design a watch resistant to extreme underwater conditions. The watch they created became known as the "Radiomir".

    Panerai's watches made during the early twentieth century era were comprised of cases designed and manufactured by Rolex SA, with Cortébert, a Swiss manufacturer, supplying the majority of their movements. The most recognizable designs from the firm are the Radiomir and Luminor. To date, vintage models from the first half of the 1900s, such as the reference 3646 and 6152 models, remain the most desirable among collectors.
