Lot Essay

The present set of three watches perfectly encapsulates the essence of Panerai watches. Limited to ten sets, the watches features three different precious metals and dials, this set is a unique opportunity for any Panerai enthusiast. The current set is No. 3 out of 10.

Dials
The Panerai S.L.C, Siluro a Lento Corsa (the Slow Running Torpedo) represents the long lineage of Panerai's professional diver's watchmaking. The dial ultimately pays tribute to the slow-speed torpedo on which the Royal Italian Navy rode during their underwater missions. The present watch pays homage to the Royal Navy, and encapsulates the fundementals of the Panerai brand. The Panerai California Dial features a distinctive alternation of Roman and Arabic numerals, bar markers and a railway track minute circle.
