Overview

The PAM 510 is Panerai in its purest form — a 44mm Luminor Marina with 8 days of power reserve and that unmistakable crown guard locking it down. Manual wind, sandwich dial, and all the wrist presence that made Panerai a cult favorite in the early 2000s.

Provenance

The PAM 510 marked a shift for Panerai — one of the first core models to carry their in-house P.5000 caliber. It gave the brand a movement that matched the rugged aesthetics: simple, tough, and with an 8-day reserve that echoed vintage Angelus-powered Panerais.

Story

This example comes as a full kit and remains in very nice shape. Wears exactly as a Panerai should — bold, legible, and unmistakable across the room. At $3,900, it’s a sharp way into the world of in-house Panerai without straying into boutique pricing.

Panerai’s Luminor line has been favored by Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and a legion of collectors who wanted size and presence before “big watch” became the norm. The PAM 510 continues that lineage.
