No. The "boutique's" model reference start with a 4....

 

...Florence 411 and so on. The 390 was "only" the first model that could ONLY be bought in a Panerai boutique (there were only a handful of them). A "special" edition acquirable in a boutique, by just walkIng in and asking for one, was unprecedented. All the limited/special editions, disappeard, long before being released. No "saint" in paradise and no "accordion" like wallet, no JOY. Strong message to the AD and the speculators in general. In Panerai circles in Italy, the 390 is called...piacione=the likeable. It has ALL the features a Panerista WOULD enjoy, luminor 44 case, tobacco dial and faux tritium. All this at an affordable price. The "have nots" queued up, around the block smile IMO of course P.S. The cases of the 372 and 390 are different, not only because of dimensions. The 372 has a 1950 case and the curved glass. The 380 has a luminor 44 case and a flat glass smile
