This lot offers Stallone’s personal PAM00202, an example of one the limited edition Slytech watches to also be offered for sale to the public – with his example being #0001 of 1,000. The first titanium fake watch online ever made was in 1970, the Citizen X8 Chronometer, and the first Swiss titanium watch came in 1980 with the Porsche Design Titan Chronograph in collaboration with IWC. But the ubiquity of the usage of titanium by watch brands is a much more recent trend. Grand Seiko with the original dual-signed SBGA011 Snowflake in 2005, Hublot with their first titanium Classic Fusion watches in 2008, and perfect replica Panerai, with this PAM00202 circa 2005 were, in some respects, ahead of the curve.
As a 47mm best 1:1 replica Panerai, the usage of titanium approximately shaves 40% of the weight off the watch compared to if it were made in steel. So, for Stallone, more accustomed to large and heavy watches, this must have felt like a future-forward technical novelty. Looking at the dial, one of the last to use tritium before the switch to SuperLuminova, you’ll notice the lume has aged to an even and attractive hue. However, it would seem the hands might’ve been replaced, possibly during a service, now featuring SuperLuminova. Of all the lots, this Swiss movement fake Panerai is tied with another for the lowest estimate range. So, if you are looking for an entry-level bidding opportunity to own one of Stallone’s high quality replica Panerais, this is your best bet.
