Here's a little more information, as I looked further into this topic this morning, and it was interesting!

From what I was able to find, the 721 does indeed seem (essentially) the only recent Panerai reference with a non-California, anonymous dial.

To be precise, there exist a few other "anonymous" references, such as the Pam 350 and 528 (pictures below taken from the web). However, these and related references (which I think are part of a "Lo scienziato" series) are all openworked, so we can barely speak of a dial and I don't think they should be part of the same discussion.

Otherwise, as I said, so far I have found NO other examples besides the 721! ;-)

To put things a little more in context for the interested reader, especially on the historical side, let me also include a nicely-written article that I found online on this topic, due to Perezcope:

perezcope.com

I'll probably look further into this, as it was good to learn something interesting/curious on Panerai, a brand that I know only superficially. Thanks again for now to all those who contributed to this very nice thread! smile 

Cheers.

I was looking this up tonight as I got very interested in this topic, but there seem to have been more in recent years...

At a quick search among the California dials, we can find at least three more references: PAM 629 (a limited edition of 300 from 2015), ref. 718 (50 pieces from 2016), and ref. 448 (750 pieces from 2012). So maybe now the topic is a bit less interesting..... 

Thanks, Fab. [nt]

has an anonymous dial. The conclusion could be that the California dialled models are prevalently (if not all) anonymous, whereby the 721 is the..only..other Panerai with an anonymous one.

I doubt sir. Sergio shall have objections over skeleton dial when we are discussing purity of it!!

also playes a part here. On the skeleton models there is just no space for any..scribble..and as a consequence they are..anonymous. On the Scenziato they found some space on the inside of the bezel, on the 528 there was not even space for that I believe t... 

I understand and appreciate your opinion, Sir.
