Zodiac Luxe

Panerai celebrates the Lunar New Year with a special edition timepiece, the new Luminor Sealand (PAM 859). It is the 11th model created by the brand annually since 2009 and each pays tribute to one of the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac calendar.

Since 2019 is the Year of the Pig, the animal is hand engraved on the cover of the latest piece. An ancient technique called 'sparsello' - named after the tool Italian master craftsmen worked with - is used to complete this complex process.

The PAM 859 is powered by the in-house P.9010 automatic calibre to give it a power reserve of three days. It comes fitted on a brown leather strap but a spare black rubber one is also supplied.
