And to compensate for the late delivery of the Unitas, Panerai has developed the big P.300X (17 lines) which did have not, however, an 8 days version, as the P.
To compensate for shortage of the 7750 supply, the Officine has produced the P.200X and other P.900Xs. Panerai (and the Officine should be congratulated for this wise decision) has anticipated for almost 10 years the end of the ETA deliveries. They where even the topic of the « off » conversations of the Paneristis which crossed each other in the corridors of the SIHH. The PAM510 are much less anecdotal and much more interesting. Its characteristic is to reuse the "caseback" bezel, formed by the transparent caseback ring, which is was to be found on the "sales presentation" prototypes of the 30-40’s.īut, by judging from the first pictures, the completely smooth bezel is less impactful than the engraved glasses of the vintage models… The PAM 521 is a platinum Radiomir 47mm equipped with a Minerva movement. I would have liked to add to this topic the PAM521, the PAM510 and PAM523 but I could not have them in hand during the exhibition. So, in the history of Officine, there is a before and an after 2011, and this presentation will be considered in 20 years as significant as the appearance of the crown guard.Īnd it must be recognized that this SIHH2013 did not generate hysterical enthusiasm riots on the Paneristis forums. So I decided to tighten this presentation to concentrate on 5 pieces. If you have read this article you most likely took knowledge of the subject on the SIHH2012 « after the bomb ». In this article, I explained how Panerai, after reaching its pinnacle, could, never again, unleash us as in 2011, despite the quality of the achievements to come.Īnd of course, as in 2012, despite its intrinsic qualities, this SIHH2013 is a relative disappointment. In fact, the big issue of the Panerai SIHH2011 is that it was too good, and it would be impossible to ever reach such a level (even if we are still awaiting news of the PAM375).
As you may remember, the subject on the SIHH2011 was intituled: “the apogee “, as this presentation represented the creative and aesthetic pinnacle of the Officine after almost 15 years of frustrations.
