Vintage Panerai Egiziano Grosso

Artcurial will auction an uncommon GPF 2/56 “Egiziano Grosso” with “Radiomir Panerai” dials throughout their “Panerai only” auction in cooperation with Officine Panerai. The auction using the title “Celebration of the watch-making industry legend” will require progress in Paris on December, eighth.

This specific “Egiziano Grosso” bears the matriculation number 007 within the case back that is screwed to the body by six screws. The “engine” of the watch having a case size 60 mm and rotating bezel, the famous Angelus Cal. SF 240 eight-days-movement, is outfitted using the in castar shock protection. 


The Angelus movement could be clearly recognized evidently of the large watch by its small second function having a sub-dial at 9 o’clock. Hour and minute hand are formed within the “single pencil” style, also is typical for Vintage Panerai watches with Angelus movement.



The sandwich dial bears the “8 GIORNI BREVETTATO” symbol around the right side at 3 o’clock. This engraved symbol is definitely a unique feature in the plethora of Vintage Panerai watches, and could be found only during this reference, that was created by Officine Panerai for that Egyptian Navy. 

About Artcurial - Founded in 2002, Artcurial confirmed its position because the leading French ah in 2013 with 123 sales organized across 20 specialist departments. Having a strong worldwide prejudice, Artcurial keeps its presence abroad with offices in Milan and The city, and travelling displays within the United States and Asia.



Panerai Vintage Pieces (make reference to Panerai watches made between your many years of 1930-1956, not available to the civilian market) are accepted by Paneristi. We're honored to determine among the rare and significant pieces: GPF 2/56 Large Egiziano, also known as Egiziano Grosso, the archetype for contemporary Luminor Submersible and PAM 341, along with the first underwater watch having a case produced by Panerai. (Until this time around, watches provided to the Italian navy by Panerai were a mix of Rolex case.)



The weird size the underwater watch, created by Panerai for that Egyptian navy in 1956 just with 60 pieces, set new benchmark at that time. The case diameter was stately 60mm, 66mm such as the crown protection system. Really this really is the 2nd underwater watch asked for by Egyptian navy. Its predecessor model is 6154 having a 47mm case, so received a nickname of Small Egyptian.



The style of the GPF 2/56 set new Panerai benchmarks. It was supported for that first time through the rotating bezel with 5-minute graduation. In addition, some GPF 2/56 full of luminor material while some with radiomir. We are able to recognize through the words of “RADIOMIR” or “LUMINOR” around the dial.
