Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days

Presented as a full-set and auctioned by a private seller, this 2014 Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 ‘3 Days’ comes with its original display box, and official documents, including its user manual and guarantee papers. Included with the set is a strap changing tool, and an additional worn brown alligator strap. Visibly well-loved, the reference has some marks and swirls on the case commensurate with regular wear. The overall condition fits within the bounds of the vendor’s ‘A’ grading category.

Distinctive in its appearance, the Luminor is instantly-recognisable thanks to the Panerai-patented protective locking bridge over its crown, and the reference’s traditional 1950-style pillow-shaped case. Finished in brushed 18K rose gold with a polished bezel, collectors with smaller wrists will appreciate its 42mm dimensions, which offer a more ergonomic fit than the 44 and 47mm cases commonly offered by the brand.

The tobacco dial is perfectly suited to the gold’s warm tones and is finished with Panerai’s trademark oversized Arabic numerals. A date aperture is finished at 3 o’clock and a seconds sub-dial sits directly opposite. Fastened to the watch is a chunky rubber diver’s strap embossed with the words ‘OFFICINE PANERAI’ and fitted to a signed gold pin buckle.

Housed inside this robust case is Panerai’s P9000 calibre. Crafted in-house by Panerai, this automatic workhorse is immediately identifiable by its two barrels, which provide it with its power reserve of 72 hours - hence the ‘3 Days’ moniker. Water-resistance is rated at 50m.
