Officine Panerai

i  understand the price will be around $27,000. Isn't this very high for a  titanium watch even though it is a special edition.

but when you're a hot brand like Panerai, making only 50 pieces, debuting a new titanium Radiomir case, using a brown dial and Minerva movement, I'd expect Panerai to charge a premium for the PAM322.  I personally think the watch should have been priced no more than $20k but that's a different story :P

are both wonderful pieces. Hopefully I'll get to see them soon when the new collection tours the UK.

Well, 309 are 100 pieces, 322 are 50 pieces, so a total of 150 pieces, theonly difference being a black dial for the  first, and a brown dial for the 2d.

IMO, the watch shouldn't have been priced more than 15 K USD, but there is an horlogical price, and there is a marketting price...

A thing that " jumps " to the eyes, while seeing your pic of the case  back...

The Minerva movement has been Paneraized...Look at the decorations of the bridges...The same decoration than the Cali...It's sad.

A Minerva movement doesn't need to be designed as a Panerai  " movement "...IMO.

Best.

That's quite a hefty price, and titanium isn't that  exotic a metal.  For a lower price, you can have the PAM 192 in tantalum ("tantalium") which is truly an exotic metal and much much tougher than titanium, both in terms of resisting corrosion and resisting scratches.  Tantalum is an amazing slighly bluish grey metal.  The PAM 192 is made in a limited edition of only 300 pieces, and I believe it is available for much lower price.

Tantalum is so amazing, and nice, with its dark grey blue reflects...

A stunnig watch, and so underated that I find it very appealing!

A connoisseur watch, IMO

Best.
