The Watch
The Iconic PAM00164 is everything we love about Panerai condensed into one highly wearable tool watch.
.
The Luminor Marina PAM 104 features the beloved luminous Panerai dial in the brand’s signature Arabic dial, thin pencil hands; a subsidiary running seconds register at 9 o’clock, and a useful magnified date window at 3 o’clock. This highly legible design, when combined with the unique Luminor cushion case in 44mm with crown protection device, 300m water resistance, smooth bezel and extra-thick lugs makes for an incredibly utilitarian piece of kit.
.
This particular PAM 164 came back from the Panerai Service Centre this January (2025), where it underwent a full Service.The Case has been brilliantly refinished, the Case has also been resealed for Water Resistance up to 300m. The Movement was fully serviced and is running like a dream. These works come with the remainder of the 2 year Panerai Warranty.
.
Accompanied by Original Inner and Outer Boxes, Screwdriver, Original Rubber Strap, Instruction Booklet, Service Papers, Receipt and Panerai Service Box, Cards, Catalogues everything. Interestingly the Box and Paperwork are for a PAM00093, which is a different Watch, however this comes from the Original Owner and this is what he was provided with. The number on the paper work "F0358/3800" matches with the Caseback and its possible as this was such an early example probably from the first batch of 164's produced, that this is what was provided.
