Celebrate CNY 2025 in style with the Panerai Luminor Perpetual Calendar
Panerai has unveiled a stunning tribute to Chinese New Year with the release of the Luminor Perpetual Calendar PAM01688, a limited-edition timepiece that blends tradition and innovation in a way only Panerai can. Limited to just 100 pieces, this elegant watch features a striking burgundy dial paired with Panerai’s exclusive Goldtech, a special alloy combining platinum and copper that gives the watch its rich, red hue.
Heritage
The number 88, deeply significant in Chinese culture as a symbol of luck and prosperity, makes its mark in the model number, further emphasizing the themes of fortune and abundance. This collaboration of design and symbolism celebrates both Panerai’s Italian heritage and the cultural richness of Chinese traditions.
Moreover, the PAM01688 features a unique dial with Chinese characters for the day and date indicators, a first for Panerai. The sleek design maintains Panerai’s signature minimalist style, with clear indications for hours, minutes, day, date, and even a 24-hour GMT hand.
Functional Style
The watch offers sophisticated functionality, with a sapphire case back revealing the inner workings of the P.4100 movement, including the month, year, and leap year information. Panerai’s commitment to precision and simplicity is evident in the innovative Perpetual Calendar mechanism, which ensures the watch’s calendar function is accurate until 2399 with minimal adjustment. 
On top of that, this high-complication feature is user-friendly, requiring only the crown to adjust the day, date, and other calendar elements without the need for tools. Additionally, the Luminor Perpetual Calendar comes with a GMT complication, perfect for travelers, and boasts a three-day power reserve.
Versatile
The 44mm case, crafted from Panerai Goldtech, is water-resistant up to 50 meters and features the brand’s iconic crown-protecting lever. The watch is finished with a black alligator strap with burgundy stitching and a second rubber strap is included for versatility.
This exclusive timepiece, presented in a luxurious wooden box, is a true collector’s item, embodying Panerai’s dedication to fine craftsmanship and innovative design.
