Panerai PAM 1346. A piece unique to be auctioned by Phillips on the the 3rd of November 2023.
For a noble cause ( UNESCO ).
47 mm platinum case, sapphire glass ( you can change for a plexy ), andI understood that you could also change the see through case back for a solid one ( to be checked ).
Inside is beating a vintage Angelus movement, with a 8 days power reserve.
And a superb box, reminding the pre vendome ones.

The Angelus SF 240 movement:
An " éclaté " shot:

The PAM 203, which was,

And a sublime 3646...
You will notice the new ( to me ) lugs.
Platinum, good or bad? I have mixed feelings. Steel would have been a more natural and logical choice.
The dial? I love it! As well as the vintage Angelus movement.
The thing I regret the most is that it is a piece unique, unless Panerai comes with a short series of steel version.
Best,
Nicolas

Great looking piece
Prefer steel…platinum does nothing for me especially with Panerai. Best Gatsby
They still have some Angelus movement lying around?
Platinum for a piece unique for auction but not really for a regular mass production model. It looks slim. Like the dial, would have preferred wire lugs.
For a good cause...UNESCO.
The platinum, I'm sure, has been chosen to increase the..intrinsical..value of the model, much like the 21. Even in an auction, it would be difficult to fork out "the big bucks" for a S/S model I.M.O. I also see a replica produced in more realistic E.U. n...
OK, this one is pretty badass. Good for whoever wins it.
But this is Panerai, so next year we will see a regular piece in steel, then a blue dial, then a black case, then a bronze, etc. ;-)
Amazing warch and post.
Thanks Nicolas. Hope it will sell for lots and lots of money and that the people in charge will make the best use of them!
Wonderful movement! Interesting new lugs!
Platinum is a big no no to me - but then again, the winner of this watch might not take it diving. As a scuba diver myself, I might actually want to strap this on my wrist in lieu of a dive computer, but if it were in platinum, I think that's just an unne...
Not only the winner won't take it diving...
But he won't even wear it. One off watches do not get worn.
Yes. You are right!
This watch will almost never be worn and only come out on special occasions. And will never be worn in the water. It will never see its natural habitat!
So sorry, I meant the Pam 619
But your point is still the same that there are a number of big differences. They are not on the same level, but the 619 does have some shared features. ...
