About this reference
The Panerai Luminor Marina Militare reference 6152-1 was produced during the 1950s and 1960s for the Italian Navy and is no longer in production. 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.
