Catalogue Essay
- Released in 2013, the Panerai PAM00514 is a classic homage to the brand's early designs from the 1930s. Retaining a strong resemblance to those original models, this limited edition timepiece incorporates some modern enhancements like the small seconds and date.
- Housed in a sizable 47mm cushion-shaped case featuring an oversized crown, the PAM00514 boasts a stunning dial with Arabic numeral hour markers at 12 and 6 o'clock. It features the signature Panerai “sandwich dial”, but the lume has been designed with a slightly aged color to enhance its vintage appeal.
- The in-house calibre P.3000 manually wound movement can be viewed through the sapphire crystal caseback. The present example, numbered 219, is in excellent overall condition with minimal signs of wear and comes with a complete set of accessories.

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.
