Lot Essay

Introduced at the 2008 SIHH, the Panerai Luminor 1950 Stainless Steel Tourbillon GMT model is distinguished by its uniquely designed tourbillon. In traditional tourbillons, the cage containing the balance rotates perpendicular to that of the base of the movement, usually making one complete rotation each minute. In the Luminor 1950 however the tourbillon cage completes two revolutions per minute and its axis of rotation is parallel to the base of the movement at right angles to the axis of oscillation of the balance, making Panerai's innovation better adapted to compensate for running errors due to position.
A masterpiece of mechanical complexity, the manual wound movement consists of 239 parts, the three mainspring barrels allow a 6-day power reserve, its status shown on the power reserve indicator on the movement of the watch.
