Ooopss!! Congrats on your new arrival! But...
... if glass is fogged on the outside surface, it should dissapear in a few moments.
If it is fogged inside, I would be worried, because it shouldn´t happen if the watch is correctly sealed.
Condensation inside glass would mean that the humidity would go from the glass to the surface of dial, or worst to the inside of the case and to the movement.
And most probably if there is condensation on the glass side there is also condensation in the inside of case.
You should send the watch to your watchmaker to veryfy this matter or return to the AD if it is a brand new watch.
May be other colleagues here can give their opinion too.
Cordial regards, Abel.

Wrong ?
I guess there must be something wrong as almost 6 hours later the sapphire glass is still foggy on the INSIDE.
Have asked my contact within Panerai what could be wrong, but I guess it is the sealing that is faulty.

This is really bad!
It means you have to service the movement, because obviously the humidity is everywhere within.... :-(
Looks like it...
This watch will have to undergo a full service to clean it completely as the humidity has gone everywhere. Now the fogging is almost gone but left drying marks on the inside of the crystal glass. A real bummer.
Exactly
I never saw a modern Panerai with a crystal like that...
This is most probably the reason for it...

Sad
But I'm returning this lovely piece to the dealer, for a full refund. Most likely I will never be able to buy this piece again :-(
Water intrusion is never a good thing. You made the right move. No need to look back. Look ahead. [nt]

Returned and refunded
Dealer took the watch back and refunded within 24h. That is what I call service !
