Very detailed review. Beautiful pictures as well.
I have the same PAM 422 as well. Chose it over the 372 and 423 since I needed the power reserve indicator (not there in 372) but wanted the dial clean (the 423 has this indicator on the watch face)

Couple of comments
1. I guess they do not submit in house movements to COSC anymore. Panerai has designed their own quality control and they test the entire watch (unlike COSC that only tests the movement) and is much more exhaustive that COSC.
2. While initially thought to be a limited edition, this is not a limited edition. (A Panerai Limited Edition comes with a scroll certifying it is a limited edition)
However, this is a "limited run" of 2,000 pieces for now. Hence your serial number might say P0356/2000. But it is entirely possible Panerai might run another 500, 1,000 or even 3,000 pieces at a later date.
