Dial, case and movement signed, NEWDIAM: 47 mm THICKNESS: 16 mmNOTE: A small run of 99 pieces available only in Florence, the Radiomir Firenze PAM604 is the first Radiomir decorated with engraving, done by hand in the Florentine style. Panerai has long offered watches with engraved hunter cases known as the Luminor Sealand, initially decorated by the gunmaker Purdey (its sister company in Richemont) and now by anonymous Italian craftsmen. Found on the case front, four sides as well as the crown, the engraved decoration is in the Florentine style, with the Florentine lily (or fleur-de-lis) being the central theme. Engraving is usually done with lines or dots, in this case the motif is engraved with lines which are then filled with black lacquer for contrast.
