  • Catalogue Essay

    - The present Luminor Panerai GMT is part of a limited edition of 251 pieces created in collaboration with Mahendra Singh Dhoni, an Indian international cricketer, of which the present example is number 06. Featuring a sporty cushion-shaped case equipped with the model’s classic crown guards, the timepiece houses the firm’s in-house caliber P9000 which boasts a 3 day power reserve for guaranteed functionality.

    - The classic luminous dial provides optimal legibility, with the military green dial colour giving the timepiece enhanced wearability and versatility for daily wear. Turning the watch around once can notice the engraved signature, image, and the symbolic "183," representing cricketer MS Dhoni's highest score in One-Day International Cricket.

    - Furthermore preserved in virtually unworn condition and coming with its complete set of accessories this is an excellent acquisition for Luminor collectors.

  • Artist Biography

    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.
