Panerai PAM 1628.
A PAM 372 ( same case and movement ) with a special dial. And a nice looking one!
An interesting reference issued in 2025.
Best,

I've always wondered
If the case is different, especially whether it is a 1 or 2 piece design with the bezel separate from the case as it could potentially cut costs.
I do think that Panerai should work on an elegant case in order to create a family apart. Rather than putting high complications is a diver's case. ;)
The Cellini rapresents less than.....
2% of Rolex's sales. I don't know if Panerai's appeal, would warrant the creation of a new case. Maybe a little initial "hype" but it miight probably fizz out, pretty quickly. That would be pretty bad, I think 
I hear you, but add some complications such as a Minute Repeater, a Perpetual Calendar... And here you are.
The Cellini responded to ironclad marketing strategies....
if you don't create and image of change, people will get bored, in the end. So, Cellini for Rolex, McChiken for McDonalds, Ciliege for LV, respond to this requirement. The Panerai Due, is the "Cellini" of Panerai, so far. IMO of course
Panerai “Independent”?
Nico, would you put the PAM 0080 in this category? It has a smaller Radiomir-style pebble case (42mm), with sun ray blue dial—all a little more luxe looking than the tool watch vibe—with an independent seconds complication. I sometimes wonder if it runs against the Panerai DNA, but it is definitely more elegant and perhaps more broadly wearable.
THAT is a very cool watch, but don't you think it. would be even better in a round case?
Well, here I would say that it is a bit like Rolex with their professional line. Since 1953 or 1954, the Submariner never ceased to change... Why not a Panerai like that?
I love this one Nico. Somehow I never had a 372 when it was a thing, but so happy to have the 1628 now!
