## Piccolo Due: In 2021, Panerai Finally Built a Women's Watch
Until 2021, Panerai was a brand built for big wrists. Then came the PAM01247, known internally as "Piccolo Due," and it flipped the formula: a 38-millimeter case, Luminor Due construction, Caliber P.900 inside. It's the first model in the company's history that Panerai designed explicitly for women, not just a shrunken men's reference with a different dial. Alongside it, the PAM01248 launched as a lighter-toned counterpart, both at the same launch price of around $6,900.
## The Dial Carries the Watch's Whole Character
On the 01247, an anthracite sandwich dial with a sunburst finish sits under the sapphire crystal, framed by a 38-millimeter polished steel bezel. The sandwich construction is classic Panerai craftsmanship dating back to the brand's earliest years, but here it's built into a case designed from the ground up for women's wrists for the first time. Caliber P.900 is an in-house automatic movement, not a modified ETA base caliber, which sets this reference apart technically from Panerai's earlier small-cased models too.
## Three Names for the Same Watch — A Sign of Where the Collector Market Stands
Across forums and dealer listings, this reference shows up under several names: "Piccolo Due," "Ladies Luminor Due," and simply "PAM1247" without the leading zero. That naming inconsistency is typical for Panerai models that haven't yet developed the kind of established collector culture and fixed nickname that lines like Radiomir or Submersible enjoy. Anyone hunting for a PAM01247 should search under all three names when researching prices — otherwise relevant listings stay invisible.
Brand profile: Panerai
Panerai Luminor and Radiomir watches are unmistakable thanks to their large case and signature crown-guard bridge. Fakes are usually given away by the crown-guard mechanism.
Key authenticity features
- Sandwich dial: genuine Panerai sandwich dials show a visible GREEN lume layer between the dial layers when viewed at an angle (on Arabic-numeral models) — fakes have single-layer dials with painted-on lume
- Crown-guard mechanism: Panerai's signature lever guard must close with a solid, firm click AND function correctly (turning the lever locks the crown for water resistance) — a purely decorative lever means fake
- Seconds-hand length: a genuine seconds hand reaches almost to the outer edge of the dial — fakes have shorter hands
- Engravings: genuine Panerai engravings are deep, laser-etched with sharp, clean edges — fakes show acid-stamped engravings with a sandy texture that fades over time
Serial number format: Panerai serial numbers: 'OP' followed by 6-7 digits on the case back. Can be verified online.
