PANERAI REFERENCE NUMBERS
Not all case backs are the same, such as display backs, so the numbers will be in different locations.
Case Number
This number varies from watch to watch and is often duplicated but seems to indicate a particular style of case. The case number on seemingly identical watches can occasionally change from year to year, presumably because of some microscopic change, or perhaps the case comes from a different manufacturer.
Production Number
If the watch is from the F series or later, this indicates the production number of this particular watch for a designated year.
If the watch is from A to E series, then this indicates the production number of all dial and case variations of a particular watch.
F series onward watches have a total number of watches per type (ie. White dial, Black dial, PVD, Brushed, Polished, etc).
Serial Number
This is the serial number of the watch, and increments with production. The newer the watch, the higher the number.
Year Letter
A letter that appears before the production number dates Panerai watches. The watch shown in the example above is an ‘K’ production year, which is 2008. The following are the years of production that the letter indicates:
No Letter – 1997
A 1998
B 1999
C 2000
D 2001
E 2002
F 2003
G 2004
