Panerai

Made as a limited edition of 30 pieces only, the PAM00559 is one of the most important and impressive pieces ever produced by Panerai.

Crafted in a 48mm pink gold case, it features a skeletonized manual winding tourbillon movement made of 277 components.

The PAM00559 was released in 2015 as one of the most important watches of the year.

The watch is part of the Radiomir 1940 collection, which mainly differs from the "standard" Radiomir models by having thick fixed lugs instead of wire lugs, a thicker bezel and a flat cylindrical crown instead of the flared crown. All these differences make the 1940 collection more faithful to the military pieces produced by Panerai during the mid-20th century.

The "Lo Scienziato" (the scientist) denomination confirms that the PAM00559 was made with the highest attention to details and using all the savoir faire of the brand. It was developed by the Panerai “Laboratorio di idee" in Neuchâtel. Beyond the fascinating architecture of the skeletonized movement, the tourbillon is particularly exceptional. Indeed, it makes a full rotation in 30 seconds, instead of 60. Furthermore, its axis is perpendicular, not parallel, to the balance wheel, ensuring a better compensation of the gravity, thus a higher accuracy of the movement.

It has an impressive 6-day power reserve thanks to its three barrels. The power reserve indication is located on the back of the watch.

The term Lo Scienziato pays tribute to Galileo. The physicist, astronomer and mathematician made significant discoveries in the field of time measurement. Since 2012, Panerai supports the Museo Galileo in Florence.

Rarely appearing at auction, this exceptional watch gathers the very best of the modern Panerai era.
