Panerai Titanium 1000m Diver

About this reference

The Panerai Luminor Submersible 1000m, specifically reference PAM00025, was produced between 1998 and 2017. Collectors value this reference for its lightweight Grade 2 titanium construction and the "Paris Hobnail" (clous de Paris) textured dial, which distinguishes it from the painted or sandwich dials of standard models. It utilizes the OP III caliber, a chronometer-certified movement based on the Valjoux 7750-P1. The 44mm case features a helium escape valve at the 9 o’clock position to support its 1000-meter depth rating. On the secondary market, these timepieces typically trade between $5,000 and $7,500 depending on the production year and set completeness. A notable production detail is the transition from tritium (T-Swiss-T) to Luminova dials around 1999, with early A and B series tritium examples commanding a premium among enthusiasts seeking original patina.
