I really like Panerai watches, and in particular, I love the original Panerai vintage watches which were made by Rolex. Rolex actually made all vintage Panerai watches, from through In other words, 18 years before the advent of the Rolex Submariner diving watch in , the very first Rolex diving watch ever made, was a Panerai. I am particularly fascinated with exploring the design nexus between the iconic Rolex Submariner and the original Rolex made Panerai models.

It is very subtle, but if dig deep enough you discover a great deal of similarity, hidden in design language. The original Panerai watches are all worth a fortune today since they are so rare. There are likely less than vintage Panerai watches in existence. They were originally made exclusively by Rolex for the Italian Royal Navy, and were never available for purchase by the public.

As a designer, I really appreciate the timeless Art Deco design and simplicity of the original Panerai watches. All the original Panerai watches made by Rolex from the s through the s were 47mm, and at the time they were considered to be enormous. Since then, humans beings have grown considerably in scale, and it is profoundly ironic to consider that our generation and the next are becoming comfortable with the larger size watches.

This makes wearing an original 47mm Panerai today, a super cool looking experience. In other words, Panerai watches have transcended time more than any other brand, in a back-to-the future kind of way.

Panerai watches remained dormant from the mid s until they were resurrected in Italy in Academy Award winning actor, Sylvester Stallone had typically worn sport Rolex watches, and while shooting a movie named Daylight in Italy in , happened to walk into the Panerai boutique in Florence and discovered the recently resurrected Panerai watch brand.

He instantly fell in love with the brand and developed a relationship whereby Panerai made special edition Panerai watches for Stallone to give to his friends, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, and these limited edition watches carried the "Slytech" moniker designation. Stallone also wore Panerai watches in the Daylight movie. The Richmont Group owns many luxury goods brands including, A. Since then, Panerai has experimented like crazy, and even made special Ferrari models. The reason I created Jake's Panerai World is to share all the knowledge and insight I have gained over my years as the world's leading Rolex historian.

As a designer, I am absolutely fascinated with the original design language of Panerai watches, and invite you to explore the entire fascinating history of Panerai with me. Warmest Regards,. Jake Ehrlich. Luminor Panerai PAM The "Panerai " as it is commonly referred to is probably the most anticipated modern Panerai ever offered. Pull the crown into the second position, and it lets you advance only the hours.

This is useful if you find yourself traveling across timezones. This is actually a relatively rare complication. To match it, the hour and minute hands are done in gold. Like most Panerais, the PAM is highly legible, both day and night. Finally, to top it off, Panerai has decided to fit the PAM with a highly-domed 3mm-thick Plexiglass crystal.

Personally, I love the Plexiglass crystal. Because it is highly domed, it distorts the dial at certain angles and the way it refracts light onto the dial makes the watch interesting to look at. And while it does get scratched easily, it can be effortlessly touched up with some PolyWatch polish. Like most Panerai watches, the PAM comes with two straps — one in dark reddish brown and another in a honey-ish peanut tone — and a screwdriver for changing straps.

Like the Fiddy, the PAM also has a 47mm style stainless steel case, but with subtle differences. For one, the case is entirely polished stainless steel instead of brushed. Additionally, the case also has a slightly different shape.

It also has slimmer lugs. These subtle changes to the case has had a profound effect on the way the PAM looks and wears. Overall, it looks less bulky, and despite its massive size, I found that it fits better than the smaller 44mm Luminor watches. I have smaller 6.
