Description
PANERAI Luminor Marina Tantalium –PAM172
I have another unique edition in brushed tantalum produced in a series of 300pcs only.
F series – limited to 300pcs, seldom available discontinued model
Complete with SE box set, Certificates, manual, Libretto Di Garanzia, COSC, spare rubber strap, screwdriver and warranty card (missing movt sticker)
Condition – excellent
Text from the manual…
“Tantalium – extreme resistance to corrosion, very high density. Case is from a single block of tantalium weighing 360 grams…machine down to 115grams to house the movement, it takes five times longer time to do than a normal steel case. Part of the reasons why Panerai only did one run on this rare metal case as the tools required were premature damaged.” The buckle is also made of Tantalium.
Price SGD$20,900 - USD$16,900

📖 About This Reference
The PAM172 represents Panerai's exploration of alternative case materials within the Luminor collection, distinguished by its use of tantalum construction. This reference positions itself as a material-focused variant that departs from the brand's typical steel and precious metal offerings.
The 44mm case is crafted entirely from tantalum, paired with a black dial. The tantalum construction provides this reference with distinct material properties compared to conventional case metals, offering collectors an alternative to standard Luminor variants.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking material diversity within the Panerai lineup, particularly those drawn to the technical aspects of tantalum as a case material. The PAM172 serves collectors who value the Luminor case architecture but desire something beyond the typical material offerings in the series.
Collector Discussions
Many moons ago, a 172
Wish I held on to this PAM. The tantalum color was gorgeous. Despite this wonderful case material, the watch was not as heavy as advertised. Like with almost all PAMs, I would prefer a solid caseback. But it was a very cool release at the time, and no doubt got a few hearts pumping.
Do you guys think Panerai will make more Tantalum watches such as the PAM172?
The PAM172, a special edition from 2003, was Panerai's first tantalum watch. Asi posted a fabulous picture of the PAM172 a while back ago here (see below pic). You can see the unique grey color of the tantalum case. And the blue hands contrasts beautifully with the tantalum case! PAM172 photo credit
Reconstituting my Panerai collection
Folks, After a number of years, I decided to sell my small panerai collection and focus on other things... but the time may have come to reconstitute my collection. I wanted to get opinions from esteemed paneristi with a few caveats: 1. No tritium... I know... sacrilege! but I'm not chasing after pr
How do you feel about customizing my 195 pvd ??
ok, so here's the idea that hits my mind .... I'd like to put some blue hands on my 195, making it look like the Tantalium 172 of course I would keep the original hands .... what do you think ?? Any idea if this a hard shop to do for a watchmaker ??
Another which one do you prefer: 172 v. 40

Request for opinions
Folks, Recently, I sold all of my Panerais (used to have 233, 292j, 172, 104, 240, 332, 305, etc.) to focus my collection on select PPs, FPJs, and ALS. Recently, I strayed from my strategy and got an AP ROO bumblebee (it's wicked)... which got me thinking of getting just one (or two) PAMs. Yes, I ju
