{"reference": {"slug": "panerai-6152", "brand": "Panerai", "ref": "6152", "model": "Luminor Marina Militare", "case_material": "Stainless Steel", "provenance": "extracted_from_auction_comps", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/reference/panerai-6152", "description": "The Panerai Luminor Marina Militare reference 6152 was produced during the 1950s as a specialized instrument for the Italian Navy. Collectors prioritize this reference for its 47mm stainless steel cushion case and the introduction of the patented crown-protecting bridge, which distinguishes the Luminor from earlier Radiomir models. Most examples house the manual-wind Rolex Caliber 618 movement. The dials typically feature a sandwich construction with \"Marina Militare\" or \"Luminor Panerai\" engravings, utilizing tritium-based luminous material. Due to limited military production runs, surviving examples are rare. On the secondary market, these watches generally command prices in the low-to-mid six-figure range depending on provenance and original component integrity. A notable variant is the 6152/1, which often features an Angelus 240 eight-day movement and a transparent caseback, representing a significant evolution in the brand’s technical specifications during the mid-century period."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 0, "median": 0, "low": 0, "high": 0}, "listings": [], "auction_lots": [{"slug": "panerai-6152-1-2014", "brand": "Panerai", "reference": "6152-1", "model": "Luminor Marina Militare", "case_material": "Stainless Steel", "hammer_usd": 272222, "year_sold": 2014, "venue": "Christie's Geneva", "lot_summary": "A highly significant vintage piece with a Rolex movement and the iconic Panerai crown-protecting bridge, formerly property of the Italian Navy.", "source_url": "https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5792503", "provenance": "ai_generated_grounded", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/auctions/panerai-6152-1-2014"}, {"slug": "panerai-6152-1-2020", "brand": "Panerai", "reference": "6152/1", "model": "Luminor Marina Militare", "case_material": "Stainless Steel", "hammer_usd": 211270, "year_sold": 2020, "venue": "Phillips Hong Kong", "lot_summary": "An exceptionally rare oversized diver's watch with a 'tropical' dial and the iconic crown-protecting device, issued to the Italian Navy.", "source_url": "https://www.phillips.com/detail/panerai/HK080220/875", "provenance": "ai_generated_grounded", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/auctions/panerai-6152-1-2020"}, {"slug": "panerai-6152-1-2018", "brand": "Panerai", "reference": "6152/1", "model": "Luminor 'Guardia di Finanza'", "case_material": "Stainless Steel", "hammer_usd": 155000, "year_sold": 2018, "venue": "Phillips Geneva", "lot_summary": "One of only two known examples issued to the Italian Guardia di Finanza, featuring a rare caseback engraving.", "source_url": "https://www.phillips.com/detail/panerai/CH080118/212", "provenance": "ai_generated_grounded", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/auctions/panerai-6152-1-2018"}, {"slug": "panerai-6152-1-2017", "brand": "Panerai", "reference": "6152/1", "model": "Luminor Marina", "case_material": "Stainless Steel", "hammer_usd": 106250, "year_sold": 2017, "venue": "Phillips New York", "lot_summary": "A rare oversized diver's watch with a 'Luminor Marina' sandwich dial, formerly property of the Italian Navy.", "source_url": "https://www.phillips.com/detail/panerai/NY080117/14", "provenance": "ai_generated_grounded", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/auctions/panerai-6152-1-2017"}]}
