Panerai
A Luminor Panerai watch is unmistakable: the cushion case, the crown-locking lever, and a dial built to be read at a glance underwater. Born from instruments Panerai made for the Italian navy, the Luminor became one of the few designs you can identify from across a room. The reference that best represents the line here is the Panerai Luminor Marina Automatic, a 44mm automatic with the brand’s long power reserve. Stock on Panerai moves quickly, so if the exact Luminor you want is between owners, our sourcing desk will track one down and bring it to you wherever you are.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about buying, shipping and authenticating your watch.
Is Panerai a good watch?
Yes, with a strong identity. Panerai builds many of its own movements, often with multi-day power reserves, and its cushion cases are genuinely distinctive. The look is polarising and the watches wear large, so fit matters, but for those it suits, a Panerai is a well-made, instantly recognisable piece with real naval history.
Who owns Panerai?
Panerai has belonged to the Swiss Richemont group since 1997, the same family of brands as Cartier and IWC. Richemont transformed Panerai from a small Italian military supplier into a global watch house while keeping its Florentine identity, with watchmaking now based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
Where are Panerai watches made?
Panerai’s story starts in Florence in 1860, where it supplied precision instruments to the Italian navy, but today its watches are made in Switzerland, at a modern manufacture in Neuchâtel. So the design language is Italian while the engineering and movements are fully Swiss.
Where can I sell my Panerai?
Sell to a specialist who knows the references and current demand. At GMJ you can sell a Panerai in Ghent or anywhere in Belgium and the EU: send photos, take a same-day valuation, then choose an outright sale or consignment. We handle authentication, photography, and insured delivery, so payment is clean on completion.
How much is a Panerai watch?
It varies with model and age. Pre-owned Luminor and Radiomir references commonly sit in the mid-single-figure thousands, with limited editions and precious-metal cases higher. The Luminor Marina Automatic that represents the line here was priced at €4,500. Send your reference for an accurate, same-day valuation.
