The success of Panerai PAM127

The Panerai PAM127 is the watch which will drive the first serious wedge . An attempt to replicate the Luminor 6152 from the 50’s-60’s, it will revisit the main characteristics of the vintage Luminors.

If the big domed sapphire impressed the whole field at the presentation of this model, it is not this feature of the PAM127 that made history.

It is the return to the ogival middles, akin to those of the Radiomirs, out with the straight middles, to give way to a kind of quaint elegance, a salvation design that lightens the look of this big watch (47mm instead of the usual 44).

Its real commercial success, on the second hand market, followed the success curves of the PAM203 and PAM233. The prestige of the PAM203 made the PAM127 more desirable.
