About This Watch

New Old Stock. Comes with orig. wooden box+outer box, spare straps, tools & manual but no paper (they were often sold without paper). This is the original piece made for & sold by Ken Trading based in Japan. Story has it that the owner who's a an avid watch collector had two of these original Panerai watches & made them according to the exact dimensions. It was introduced almost after Panerai launched the Pam217 aka "1950" but sold @ USD10K @ that time. Officine Panerai wasn't pleased and sent an injunction to stop them from selling it soon after. Enthusiasts consider this as a more faithful original reproduction of the vintage piece made by Panerai & the straps were supplied by Conolly leather, a "Royal" supplier that was once found in Ferraris & Rolls Royces.

This watch is in mint condition & the straps are unused. It was rated to 100m & anti-magnetic to 1000gauss. The steel buckle is also very thick like what the original had. In fact, this watch is so good that there are copies of it with so called Asian movt. that are actually fakes from PRC. Therefore, please be careful with what other advertisers that are selling. Make sure you get the genuine RXW with a Swiss movt. & complete with it's accessories.

Please Note: pictures shown here are not of the actual watch but it has all the same details.
