Catalogue Essay
The Panerai Luminor is a true icon, born out of necessity after a period of conflict and evolved into a symbol of the brand's rich legacy. The PAM01135 model pays homage to this storied heritage while showcasing Panerai's expertise in incorporating complications within a robust case design.

Encased in a 44mm matte black ceramic case, the PAM01135 features some vintage-inspired design elements. The domed sapphire crystal, for instance, evokes the look of the plexi-glass used in earlier Panerai watches and the luminescent "sandwich" dial also adds to the visual appeal. The deep blue sunburst finish further complements the blue calfskin strap, with additional strap options provided for versatility. Powering this exceptional timepiece is the impressive P.2004 caliber, which boasts a dual-time function, a single-button chronograph and an impressive 8-day power reserve.

Preserved in almost like-new overall condition, this limited edition timepiece is numbered 28 out of 200 pieces. It is accompanied by the original certificate and full set of accessories, making it an exceptionally attractive proposition for the discerning collector who seeks to acquire a future classic.

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.
