The Panerai Boutique, as they all are, are special places.

Panerai do things properly, a lovely touch for a collector like me. Below is a signed letter from the Panerai CEO explaining the importance of this Luminor 70th Anniversary piece. Like I say, a lovely touch from Panerai.

A nice platinum hue in this photo.

The controversial rear with metalized emblem below the crystal.

A free gift from Panerai - From my experiences, Panerai amazing customer service.

Major congrats! I got mine like end last month without the spare strap and thank you letter. They will give them to me the next time when I'm back at their boutique, guess they have ulterior motives


I was invited to their private show next monday, was told they will let me try their prototypes and newest collection


You should get this transparent holder for your appreciation letter

Is the 70-year warranty transferrable to the next owner?

Thanks Louie, and huge congratulations to you too.

Indeed it is a very special watch that will undoubtedly mostly stay in the hands of true Paneristis and collectors. I'm just glad that I am not the only crazy person on TRF to spend such an amount on a Panerai.

As I was saying to a friend, with a limited run of just 70 watches they are going to be a very rare sight, even some boutiques may never see one. I agree the letter signed by the CEO of Panerai is a very special thing indeed to make the watch a "full-set".

I love the letter, to quote - "With this very special watch you are creating Panerai history", what a great line!

Beautiful watch. I cannot for the life of me figure out why on earth they would put a 70 year warranty disc of some sort on the inside of a clear case back. It clearly obscures the movement and is utterly unnecessary.

I am always open to other viewpoints and discussion but I see that as an eye sore and beyond dumb in terms of design. Indefensible really.

Glad you liked it We only have 2 in Singapore, and 1 of them was a special arrangement for me with a single digit...

The transparent holders kept the letters in perfect condition and nice presentation, really nice for them to come out with this for the customers

I didn't know Panerai made Platinum models. The color and feel of platinum is unlike anything. That is a super cool watch. Great choice!
