Officine Panerai

That the PAM 341, AKA the Egiziano homage that was released this year at SIHH 2009 as a special edition had increased it's limited edition number from 300 to 500?

Seems as though even alot of people complain about not being able to wear it, the demand is so great that Panerai is forced to increase the amount made available to the market!

Wonder what other change will happen, mon ami Nico mentioned the possibility of the colour of the hands changing ( from matte black to gold), that would not be ruled out now.

Anyways, just some more photos, courtesy of our dearest moderators Nicolas and the others! ( Sincerest apologies if i missed out your names!)

 

Ciao ciao!

Stephen

just noticed it at the panerai website.

Our chance getting one is increased!

Alepos

Here's to us getting our piece!

How's the list growing in Hong Kong?

Stephen

With the Platinum Cali ( Pam 262 ); which was announced at 50 pieces, and ended with 99.

They received the demonstration that even if unwearable, this Egiziano will be a big hit.

Not a big problem, IMO, but, like you, Stephen, I would like to see Panerai change these hands for golden ones...

Best.

Nicolas

with the 232, the hands were announced black but changed to gold for the production, am i correct?

Well, in any case, i'm glad that Panerai even CREATED THIS PIECE!

Loving it more and more everyday!

As I speculated earlier:

panerai.watchprosite.com

This woud lighten up the need/pressure to issue more 60mm Egiziano or variants of it in the future in order to justify the overall economics.

And i'd prefer it that way, because i strongly believe that 60mm CANNOT AND MUST NOT be used for anything but the Egiziano, although there is a very faint possibility that they would use it to re-create the Israeli Navy monster!

So if i could say it again, i believe that the 60mm cannot be used for anything but the Egiziano and this!

Thanks for the fast post reply!

Hi Jester,

I heard somewhere that this proto was made of aluminium? If that's the case, was it just a mock-up (easily machined case and no rust) for test purposes?

 

an auction but was withdrawn and that the authenticity appears to be questionable. Any thoughts?

I might be alone, but this PAM is ugly IMHO. I like Panerai (having 090 and 292) but this one... Though I understand historic importance of this model, for $28,500 you can buy gold Lange&Sohne or Patek with perfect finishing and mechanics. Big chunk of metal on one's wrist looks terrible and somewhat outdated. I think Panerai went wrong way in pricing. Sorry guys, but bull market finished...

Unless some other forums and people!

Yea , objectively i would have to agree with what you said, about this piece being too big, unwearable, and for it's price you can find many other much better choice.

But subjectively, i fell in love at 1st sight upon it's announcement at SIHH 09 and am going to wear it much on my wrist because I TOTALLY adore huge gigantic watches ( so you can imagine how much of a dream come true this is for me).

Hope you found other PAM's among the year's novelties that suit your taste!

Cheers

Stephen

I personally do not care about the extra size, There are so many watches I only wore one or two selected journeys, It is a must have

Well, since there are quite alot right now, you and me are sure to get ours!

Salute con uno amarone!

Ciao ciao

Stefano
