Panny has made in-house PVD for a long time.

but, beware, many are aftermarket PVD. Panerai owners are different than most Rolex owners. Many Paneristi like to customize their watches via hand changes and pvd.

Panerai has not had a PVD model since the B series other than the 195 which was a special edition of only 250.

They just announced a DLC'd destro version that will be released sometime hopefully mid fall. It is a re edition of the 26.

Yes we do !!

Panerai guys sometimes like to customize watches. I am currently getting a PAM 005 PVD'd. I was disappointed in the 292 (wears small) and the Ceramic Luminor is going to be over 30k when it actually becomes available. PAM 4's and 9's are great but have really taken off in price!

So I have seen 0000, 0005, 111, 112, 113, 64, 25, and I recently saw a 212 being PVD'd or DLC'd... I think it looks great and its reversible!

hmmm....didn't know its reversible without scratching it up! nice to know something new!

are there any links to companies that do these procedures or are there any companies with good reputations for such customisations?
