Result
As a result of an extensive restoration and customization process, this Panerai PAM 00002 has been transformed into a truly modern timepiece with a unique character and strong collector appeal. From a vintage watch dating back to the year 2000, we have created a contemporary piece that combines historical roots with modern watchmaking aesthetics. Thanks to the newly created sandwich dial, the watch now has a noticeably more expensive and refined appearance. The movement has been fully restored, delivering maximum performance, stability, and long-term reliability. The custom caseback was entirely crafted by us from our own materials and finished with deep, precise engraving. It is not a restoration, but a custom-made, hand-finished component created specifically for this project. The vivid relief, crisp lines, and balanced composition turn the caseback into a true piece of mechanical art, giving the watch a powerful and unmistakable identity even on its reverse side.
