Subexplorer showcases his Panerai 65mm desk clock with a California dial and P5000 8-day movement, a rare boutique souvenir.

Subexplorer shares his unique souvenir from the Panerai Boutique Miami: a 65mm desk clock featuring the P5000 8-day movement. This post highlights the rarely seen desk clock, available with three distinct dials, and its charming connection to Panerai's deep-sea diving heritage.

... to Hugo the Deep Sea Diver at the Panerai Boutique Miami.

This is a rarely seen piece from Panerai but a charming one I feel.

It is a 65 mm desk clock with the P5000 8 days movement inside.

There are three dials to choose: the classic 12-3-6-9, the SLC and the one I purchased the Cali which I liked as it is among the first used by Panerai and also has a minutes rail.

Here I show it together with my latest additions to my collection of helmet divers statuettes .

I wish some day Panerai will offer its own statuette of Hugo their friendly deep sea diver to add to my collection!!

Cheers! Abel

The Panerai desk clocks are available in three dial variations: the classic 12-3-6-9 (PAM00581), the SLC (PAM00641), and the California dial (PAM00651).
The California dial on the desk clock features painted indexes, while the SLC and standard dials are sandwich constructions with luminous indexes.
The large deep-sea diver statue, named Hugo by Mr. Bonatti, is a fixture in Panerai boutiques worldwide, though it is not available for purchase.
The Panerai desk clock is a rarely seen but charming piece, offering a unique way to own a Panerai movement.

Beautiful pick up Abel!

Does the dial have the filled indices like the true CALIFORNIA dials? Is the numerals filled with Lume? Best, Darron

Wow! when you chose SubExplorer you meant it, didn't you?

Is the full-size one yours too? Or is he Hugo from the Boutique? What fun our hobby is! Cheers, Cazalea

Ha ha ha!! Thank you so much Mike!! Regret to say...

... Hugo belongs to the Boutique! I’d love to own it!! I own a Siebe & Gorman helmet though. But it remsins at home. I was told all boutiques around the world got their diver. It eas named Hugo by Mr Bonatti himself! I also collect figurines of helmet divers which left at home. These are the latest additions. Cheers! Abel
