The nickname Padellone, which translates to large frying pan, was originally invented by Italian enthusiasts for a rare 1949 triple-calendar moonphase reference due to its broad, flat case.
Prices start at $59,000 for the Everose model on leather, go up to $66,200 for the platinum version, and reach $72,800 for the model with the Settimo bracelet, with sales beginning in November.
The watch runs on the new automatic calibre 7190, which beats at 5Hz, offers about 66 hours of power, and features a Haplos annual-calendar mechanism that requires only one correction a year.
