  • Catalogue Essay

    A decade after unveiling the original Submersible Bronzo, Panerai plunged into new depths in 2021 with the Submersible Bronzo Blu Abisso. Its striking, abyssal blue dial appropriately conjures the unfathomable oceanic depths, or "Blu Abisso" in Italian. Within the 42mm bronze case destined to develop a singular patina over time resides a sense of an ancient relic, newly emerged from the cerulean sea.

    With its tantalizing royal blue hues and bronze case that will transform uniquely, this Submersible Bronzo Blu Abisso exquisitely encapsulates the mystery and splendor of the underwater realm. Offered in virtually unworn condition from the original owner and complete with all accessories, it awaits a new custodian to continue its journey into the blue abyss. For the discerning collector drawn to the romance of the nautical, this Bronzo extends an invitation to dive deep into horological exploration.

    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.
