Platinum rad weight
Does anyone know how much a platinum rad 45mm like the 274 weighs? Or
maybe subjectively describing the weight in comparison to like a lange
double split or pp 5960p?
Thanks.

Well, it weights a lot.
I didn't weight mine ( Pam 198 ), which is a 45 mm Rad in platinum, but I can tell you that it is one of the heaviest watch I know. Much more than a 5960P, and it seems, if I remember well, that it is a bit more than a Double Split. BUT, on another side, ...
Will not be that easy, my friend, as it is
A LE of 50 pieces from 2004... But I still remember your face when you tried mine... Thanks for the nice words, Eric! Nicolas
It sure is good mon ami!
Btw, i own one as well! What a dense raddy! A bientot Stephen
Congrats Buddy...
But you have been WAY TOO subtle on this great find! Anyway, I'm sure she's enjoying the piece.
I don't think the 198 or 274
weight more than the PT Double Split. I'll see if I can get access to some weight/scale and I'll weight them all out....
You are so correct!
Almost nothing i have ever seen or held beats the DS in terms of weight! That is an ingot of Platinum, watchified! Cheers Stephen
Thanks mate. Personally a big fan of the various shades/ages

Alec, the buckles on the PAM198 & PAM274 are white gold right?
That's one thing which I wish Panerai would improve upon - on platinum Panerai's, have a matching platinum buckle instead of going the cheap way and only providing a white gold buckle. - AT
Actually I don't quite remember
I shall take a look next time I hit the vault. BTW, I have 198 & 201 so won't be able to comment on 274 and whether they've changed their stance on this on the more recent platinum pieces.
My PAM21 comes with a white gold buckle
so that's why I'm asking if the other platinum Radiomirs come with white gold buckle as well. I know the PAM65 Platinum Big Date comes with white gold buckle too. - AT
198 comes with a stupid WG buckle
Stupid because of its ridiculously small size and shape, and also because a pin buckle on a platinum watch HAS to be in platinum! Best, Anthony. Nicolas
