Luminor 1950

The Panerai Luminor 1950 Rattrapante Regatta 2007, reference PAM00286, is a highly specialised and collectible chronograph created for competitive sailing. Produced in a limited edition of only 500 pieces worldwide, this certified pre-owned luxury watch is presented in unworn condition and supplied as a full set with its original box and papers.

The watch features a 44 mm stainless steel case designed in the iconic Luminor 1950 profile, complete with the signature crown-protecting bridge. The robust construction and bold proportions reflect Panerai’s maritime heritage. The black dial is purpose-built for regatta timing, featuring luminous Arabic numerals and markers, chronograph counters, and a rattrapante (split-seconds) function that allows the measurement of intermediate times—an essential feature for yacht racing. The layout remains highly legible despite its technical complexity.

Powering the watch is the Panerai calibre OP XVIII automatic movement, based on a high-grade Swiss chronograph architecture with split-seconds functionality. This automatic movement delivers reliable chronograph performance and a power reserve of approximately 42 hours, engineered to withstand demanding conditions at sea.

The watch is fitted with a durable rubber strap, enhancing its sporty and nautical character while ensuring comfort and resistance to water exposure. The overall configuration—steel case, black dial, and rubber strap—reinforces its professional regatta identity.

Offered in unworn condition and accompanied by its original box and papers, this pre-owned luxury watch represents a rare opportunity to acquire the Panerai Luminor 1950 Rattrapante Regatta 2007 PAM00286.
