Panerai Watches

In 1860, Giovanni Panerai founded Officine Panerai in Florence to manufacture precision nautical instruments. Panerai is known for its Radiomir and Luminor diving watches that were used by commando frogmen in the Royal Italian Navy. Panerai’s success with large watches has prompted a number of other watchmakers, such as Audemars Piguet, to introduce larger watches. Over the past few decades, Panerai has become one of the most coveted luxury watch brands in the world.
