Catalogue Essay
First released in 2009, the PAM317 was an instant success as it featured an all-black appearance from case to movement. With a dual time complication further enhanced with a single-button chronograph with day/night indication and up to 8 days of power reserve, the movement is none other than extraordinarily complicated. Achieved via implementing three barrels to enable an 8-Day power reserve, the in-house caliber P2004 is further finished with an application of a PVD coating to further compliment the black ceramic case.

Limited to 300 pieces, the present example numbered 6 is offered in excellent “like new” overall condition and is further charmed by the full set of accessories. This is a fantastic opportunity for watch lovers and collectors of Panerai timepieces to acquire a stunning all-black wristwatch packed with practical complications to get you through the week.

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.
