Catalogue Essay
• Encased in robust yet lightweight titanium, the PAM00057 features Panerai’s signature cushion-shaped case, a design created by Alessandro Bettarini during the brand’s revival. The use of titanium enhances the watch’s durability while ensuring exceptional comfort on the wrist. The case also incorporates Panerai’s patented crown-protecting device with lever, a distinctive hallmark of the brand. This mechanism is designed to maintain water resistance and protect the crown from accidental shocks, mishandling, or damage.
• The watch’s design is further enhanced by a rich brown hobnail dial that conveys warmth and sophistication. Large Arabic numerals at the cardinal points, together with luminous hour markers, offer excellent legibility and introduce a contemporary element to the classic layout. The model name “Luminor” refers to Panerai’s historical use of a patented tritium-based luminescent compound. In modern versions, this has been replaced by Super-LumiNova, which extends the dial’s legibility by approximately 35% compared to standard Super-LumiNova.
• Offered in excellent condition and accompanied by its full set of accessories, this present example is paired with its original brown crocodile strap, which complements the dial’s warm tones. It is a superb choice for collectors who appreciate Panerai’s blend of technical innovation and refined design.

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.
