Panerai year of manufacture

On the back of your Panerai is a letter designator. This letter represents the year in which your watch was manufactured. Today, Panerai produces a relatively small number of watches, approximately 35,000/year, for collectors, historians, enthusiasts and celebrities alike. The key characteristics of the brand include the large size, cushion shape, and unique crown lever.

Officine Panerai is a luxury Swiss watch manufacturer, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Compagnie Financière Richemont S.A. Panerai took steps to become a manufacture. Three years after CEO Angelo Bonati initiated the development of in-house caliber manufacturing, Panerai introduced its first movement, Caliber P.2002, a technically unusual manual-wind model with an eight-day power reserve (an homage to earlier Panerai models, many of which featured Angelus movements with long power reserves), which it placed into the Radiomir 8 Days GMT.

Panerai Caseback Reference Numbers

Panerai introduced a watch with this unique dial last year (the PAM373) and it was received very well. However, because the PAM373 has a platinum case, it was priced out of the range of most collectors and followers of the brand.

That year, Panerai incorporated the new crown in one of its last major developments as a military timepiece supplier. In conjunction with the Egyptian Navy, for which Panerai had previously developed tactical watches in 1953, the Italian contractor delivered a transitional model that incorporated distinctive elements from past and future Panerai products. Large and distinctive timepieces define the luxury watch manufacturer Panerai. A consistent design and their crown-protecting bridge create a steadfast image that every watch enthusiast recognizes at first glance.

Happy Chinese New Year to all our readers! Panerai enjoys a strong following in Asia and for the past seven years have released special edition watches to commemorate the Chinese Zodiac.

In addition, it has gone on to produce its own in-house movements.
