Let us take particular notice at Panerai. Prior to making wrist watches, Officine Panerai focused on making instrumentation controls and tools for the Italian Navy. Pictured here we visit a photo of the Original Panerai compass and depth gauge. You should note these products in addition to every original Panerai watch available were only accessible to the Italian Panerai company and weren't offered to everyone.
Beside watches in the Vintage, Pre-Vendome and Richemont era, some historic tools and instruments from Officine Panerai is going to be sold by Artcurial in Paris on Monday, December eighth. An uncommon illustration of a Vintage Panerai depth gauge, targeted to 50 meters, with Radiomir dial and also the typical whitened hand (depth indicators with Luminor include a transparent hand), shows up as LOT 18 at “Panerai only” (Artcurial purchase #2527).
The stainless steel case is matte gray covered, sized 70 x 90 mm. Historic Panerai instruments (screwed lugs) make use of the same 26 mm leather straps as individuals who have been installed on watches, treated for sea water use. The size of the strap was lengthy enough to put on the depth gauge within the diving suit. The bottom from the instrument is ergonomically formed and it has a brushed surface. It's fixed with 6 screws to the upper area of the case, just like compasses are built. The large dome (different versions between 24 mm and 27 mm is available) consists of Plexiglas.
If you take a detailed consider the dial of the instrument, it's possible to observe that it is packaged in exactly the same “sandwich method” compared to dials from the Vintage Panerai watches. The dial of the depth gauge has markers of 2.5 meter steps from surface to twenty meters, and 5 meter steps from 20 to 50 meters (maximum depth).
Another Vintage Panerai instrument expires available at Artcurial’s “Panerai only” auction in Paris. LOT 54 presents a “Luminor Panerai” depth gauge, targeted to 40 meters. The dial of the depth gauge, produced in exactly the same “sandwich style” as dials for watches, shows markers of 2.5 meter steps as much as 40 meters (maximum depth).
The meter hand consists of transparent Plexiglas, with a chamber in the tip, holding the luminous material to indicate the particular depth. The luminous material on hands, amounts, markers and dots continues to be responding very rapidly and vibrant whenever a source of light is beamed to the amounts and markers.

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.

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.
