PAM 1364 - $55k - Can you justify?

[mjm700]

What are your thoughts on the platinum annual calendar, PAM 1364, for $55k?

First, I think it is stunning. Beautiful dial, love the platinum weight and tone, interesting month indicator (in Italian), unique brown strap, but very expensive for a Panerai.

As the price of other models steadily increases, is 2-3x most other PAMs justified?

Is it just too much for a Panerai? Beyond the brand, finish of movement, etc.?

Is a complicated Panerai at odds with what most of us want in a Panerai (as opposed to a PP or others)?

I do find it enticing and really beautiful in person...

I would say one should be willing to lose half its value over the next few years on that model.

It's a beautiful watch no doubt. I just think $55k is way outside the standard market for a Panerai. Unless you are a huge Paneristi and will never sell it or you know similar collectors such that if you decide to sell you could maybe sell it that way. Otherwise you are buying a white elephant. Spending $55K on a Patek or Lange is just standard for those watches so I would feel comfortable. $55K for a Panerai - no.

There have been been much more expensive Panerai…. Buy it if you love it.

Beautiful but overpriced.

What am I missing - does it read March 28 and also indicate January (Gen) on the dial? What am I not reading correctly on the dial?

It’s for extended travel. Dual month complication.
