Stunning Panerai 47MM PAM00514 and 47MM Reference 6154

Panerai Introduces 47MM PAM00514
SIHH 2013 in Geneva, Switzerland

Panerai is officially driving me crazy!!! They just showed off this all-new model at SIHH in Switzerland today. It is 47MM and has a synthetic sapphire crystal. Why is Panerai driving me crazy!?! All I want is a Vintage Reference 6154 "Small Egiziano" that is identical to the original from 1955. Maybe I can swap out a PAM00372 base dial with this one, then I will have my dream watch, or at least get pretty close!!



A Stunning Bleach Blond Beauty

1954 Cream Dial Panerai Small Egiziano
Auctioned for $326,000
47MM Reference 6154 

Earlier today, Christies Auction house auctioned a very rare stainless steel Cushion-shaped Small Egiziano, which was made in 1954 for the Egyptian Navy. This Rolex made vintage Panerai is unusual because it has a bleach blonde dial. Ironically this dial was once white, but the Radium on the markers literally bleached the dial to a blonde color over the last 57 years, which makes this watch a highly sought after watch. 

The Small Egiziano is arguably the most beautiful vintage Panerai model ever made, based upon its amazing simplicity, and hopefully the modern Panerai company will have the wisdom to bring this beauty back to life, just like they did with the Reference PAM00372. I think Panerai should offer it with an antiqued cream dial like this one, as well an antique brown one, modeled after Hammer's stunning 6154 example, as well as a standard antiqued black dial version with a dial like the PAM 00372.
