Lot Essay

The Panerai Luminor TantalIum PAM 172 was released in 2003 as a limited edition of 300 pieces. Encased in tantalum, the rare material has a natural bluish gray appearance with a lustrous sheen that is also highly corrosion-resistant, which is perhaps why it might be the perfect case material to incorporate in a diver's wristwatch.

Tantalum is a rare metal whose color is unlike any other. It is little used in horology because it is extremely difficult to work with. Requiring very high temperatures imposed upon it in order for it to be molded and used to ones specifications, once it has been carefully adapted it is extremely durable and ultra-resistant to corrosion.
