Catalogue Essay
Released in 2012, the Panerai PAM00438 Tuttonero limited edition of 1,000 pieces encased in a black ceramic 44mm diameter Luminor case features a GMT function with a date. Powered by the firm’s self-winding in-house cal. P9001/B, it is built with a Glucydur balance, an Incabloc anti-shock device as well as a 3 day power reserve indication. Finished with a black galvanic treatment, the all black appearance of the timepiece is further elevated. Paired along with a black ceramic bracelet, the whole timepiece is essentially insensitive to any scratches.

Offered in “like new” overall condition, consigned by the original owner and accompanied by its full set of accessories, the present example PAM00438 numbered 130 is surely a nice piece for any Panerai enthusiasts to add to their collection, perfect for daily wear.

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.
