PANERAI | REFERENCE PAM00578 LO SCIENZIATO - LUMINOR 1950 TOURBILLON GMT TITANIO AN IMPRESSIVE TITANIUM SKELETONIZED DUAL TIME ZONE WRISTWATCH WITH TOURBILLON, 24-HOUR AND POWER RESERVE INDICATION CIRCA 2016

This timepiece is accompanied by a Panerai certificate, special edition certificate, an extra strap, a screwdriver, presentation box and outer packaging. Limited to only 150 examples, the Panerai PAM 578 Lo Scienziato Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT Titanio released for SIHH 2016 once again captivated Panerai's loyal aficionados by unveiling a new case-making technique - direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). Panerai utilizes the DMLS to construct the case layer by layer by means of a fibre optic laser and eventually merge the successive layers together. Coupled with the choice of titanium, the final case weights only 98 grams despite its sizable diameter at 47mm. PAM578 is fitted with the P.2005/T manual winding movement, a version of the skeletonised P.2005/S modified with titanium plates and bridges. The rest of the movement remains unchanged and it sports an impressive number of features including a 30-second rotating tourbillon, a power reserve display and a second time zone indication. The three mainspring barrels store enough energy to power the watch for as long as 6 days without compromising its accuracy.

Combining the highly innovative titanium case, ultra-light movement and unconventional tourbillon, PAM578 is easily the most technically awe-inspiring Panerai watch that gives the wearer ultimate aesthetic pleasure.
