Panerai Radiomir Quaranta Blue

Panerai means different things to different collectors, but wherever you stand on the spectrum, there's no denying that these things have presence! Although by no means diminutive, Panerai watches — with their excellent "cushion" case design that has become synonymous with the brand — do have a way of wearing smaller than advertised. This PAM01293 Radiomir from circa the 2020s, is something else... coming in at 40mm, it is finished in stainless steel, with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a beautifully finished bezel. It features a striking luminous blue 'sandwich' dial with a running seconds counter at 9 o'clock, date window at 3 o'clock, a matching handset, a signed brown alligator leather strap with a signed pin buckle, and Panerai's Calibre P.900 self-winding movement. What's great about this piece is its perfect sizing. Size is often the barrier to entry for collectors to the Panerai brand. Finding a 40mm piece that packs the same design ethos into a more wearable package allows a broader audience to access the unique appeal of Panerai watches. And we love the PAM01293 for this. Beautiful, versatile, and quintessentially Panerai, this piece packs a massive punch in an understated way. If thats what you're looking for, well, this might just be the perfect option.
