Pam1204

I got called by my boutique contact and I was asked if I was interested in looking at a PAM1204. It’s a Florence boutique exclusive. The watch is absolutely beautiful. It was also the first time that I saw a P.4000 movement in person and I was very impressed with the fit and finish. Curious if anyone here owns one or have handled one in person. Needless to say I am very close to pulling the trigger on this piece.

To each their own, I wouldn't want one for free (or actually I would but just so I could sell it and pocket the cash).

yes beautiful watch, i tried it on last week. nice but i don't know if the engraving garners an extra $20k. for me the due's are to thin, i prefer the heft of a 1950 case. defiantly stands out. good luck with your choice.....

This is not a Due. It’s a 45MM Luminor. The hand engraved case and the P4000 movement were a real standout to me.

Beautiful watch! I ended up getting the 1114 instead of waiting for the 1204.

U prob know better since u saw it in person.

Not much info out there for this reference. But what I read was that it is 45mm Luminor Due.
And it looks pretty thin like the Due.
Pic of Pam703 1950 case for comparison below

The engraving is not for everyone. Personally, I love it. Lol

If u can buy from boutique, I say go for it.

I comparing it to my wife’s Due which is significantly thinner than this one. When I handled the case it felt like a base Luminor. Regardless, I do like the engraving. I have one reserved at the Florence boutique that I am going to pick up in September.

I completely agree. The engraving on the case is paying tribute to Florence history and artistry. Congratulations on your PAM1114
