Catalogue Essay
- In homage to Galileo Galilei, the esteemed Italian scientist and pioneer of modern science, Panerai conceived the "Lo Scienziato" collection. Galilei's groundbreaking discoveries in physics, astronomy, mathematics and engineering were matched only by his remarkable innovations in timekeeping. Notably, his technique of using Jupiter's moons as a celestial clock to determine longitude at sea remains an extraordinary achievement.
- To honor this legacy, Panerai unveiled the "Lo Scienziato" models in 2010, available in both Radiomir and Luminor styles. The inaugural limited edition, showcasing the novel in-house caliber P.2005/S, was the Radiomir Tourbillon GMT Ceramica ref. PAM00350. This distinguished reference, featuring a sleek black ceramic case, was limited to just 150 examples.
- Numbered 122, the present watch boasts a captivating skeletonized dial. A triple barrel ensures an impressive 6-day power reserve, while a rotating tourbillon occupies the 10 and 11 o'clock positions. An additional hand indicates a second time zone, complemented by a day/night marker at 3 o'clock. Subtle small seconds are displayed at 9 o'clock, and the rear caseback features a power reserve indicator.

Panerai
Italian | 1860Known 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.
