P o c k e t W at c h e s Panerai Offered in either rose or white gold, Panerai’s pocket watch takes advantage of the firm’s in-house caliber P3000 three-day power reserve movement. Manually-wound, this movement takes on a completely new look in the pocket watch execution. What was originally a rock-solid looking machine with two large bridges covering most of what lies beneath has become a trestlework of thin metal rails just large enough to accomplish their proscribed function while allowing a deeper view into the inner workings. At 50mm, the Radiomir ‘softened square case converts nicely to the pocket watch platform with details like the inset crown, curved bow, and simple elegance of the design that will appeal to both the ardent Paneristi and just about anyone who loves fine timepieces. Adding one to your own collection will call for an investment of $78,100 for the rose gold version and $82,800 for a white gold case. 52 Wristwatch | 2016
