The Panerai Luminor 1950 PCYC 3 Days Chrono (PAM00653) belongs to the esteemed Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge (PCYC) collection, renowned across the International Circuit for Classic Sailing Yachts spanning from the Antilles to the Mediterranean. Despite the abundance of details on its dial, Panerai has meticulously organized the elements to prevent any confusion. Encircling the dial are two scales: one for seconds/minutes and another, on the inner flange, housing a nautical tachymeter. This unique feature connects it distinctly with the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge by measuring speeds in knots—based on nautical miles (1.852 km), deviating from the standard kilometre graduation. The PAM00653 includes a duo of central chronograph hands, yet it's important not to mistake it for a rattrapante. Despite this, Panerai opted for a clear and readable chronograph layout featuring central hands for both recorded seconds and minutes. The seconds hand is silver-colored while the minutes hand is gold-plated, mirroring the hours sub-counter. This design choice ensures that elapsed times are effortlessly displayed in a natural and easily comprehensible manner.
Encased in the signature Luminor 1950 steel case, the PAM00653 is driven by Panerai’s in-house, self-winding movement, the caliber P.9100, renowned for its three-day power reserve. This watch is in excellent condition with box/papers, 2 extra straps with buckles and balance of Panerai warranty. The recommended retail price for this watch is EUR 12000 , approximately 19700 AUD.
