With the increasing attention from the Chinese aficionados, Panerai has been commemorating the 12 different zodiac signs of the Chinese astrological calendar by producing the yearly pieces since 2009. The model PAM840 aka the Dragon Watch is no doubt the most symbolic one amount them all, which embodies the powerful and mercurial emperor of the Chinese zodiac through the mystical and my🐈thical dragon. The design of the watch was inspired by Chinese paper cutting art and features a piercing dragon etched onto the cover which was executed by James Purdey and Sons, a renowned London based gun builder. This watch is produced in the limited number of 50 units and makes it the ultimate watch for Panerai’s enthusiasts.
