Lot Essay

With Panerai Certificate, instructions for use, screw drive strap removing tool, original fitted presentation box and outer packaging.

The present watch is number 2 of a limited edition of 150 examples.

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 Radiomir Tourbillon 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 back of the watch.
