Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950

About this reference

The Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo, reference PAM00382, was released in 2011 as a limited edition of 1,000 units and is no longer in production. It is historically significant as the first modern bronze diving watch from Panerai, utilizing CuSn8 tin and copper alloy designed to develop a unique patina over time. The 47mm case features a brushed bronze finish, a titanium case back with a sapphire crystal, and a distinctive green dial. It is powered by the in-house P.9000 caliber, an automatic movement providing a three-day power reserve. On the secondary market, prices typically range between $22,000 and $30,000 depending on the degree of oxidation and set completeness. A notable production detail is that this specific reference is often credited with starting the industry-wide bronze watch trend, making it a foundational piece for Panerai collectors.
