Collectors value this reference for its transitional role in Panerai history, specifically the introduction of the patented crown-protecting bridge and the shift from Radiomir to tritium-based Luminor luminous material. The 47mm stainless steel case features a monoblock construction with integrated lugs and typically houses the Rolex Caliber 618 manual-wind movement. Rarity is high, as these were military-issued instruments rather than commercial products. On the secondary market, prices generally fall within the $80,000 to $150,000 range depending on provenance and dial configuration. A notable variant includes examples fitted with the Angelus SF 240 eight-day movement, which command higher premiums at auction, sometimes exceeding $200,000, due to their increased technical complexity and limited production numbers."}, "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"}]}
