  Description : Manufacturer: Panerai;Year: Circa 1942;Reference No: 3646;Case No: 1'010'351;Model Name: "Type C;Material: Stainless steel;Calibre: Manual, cal. 618, 17 jewels;Bracelet/Strap: Leather;Clasp/Buckle: Stanless steel pin buckle;Dimensions: 46.5mm. Width;Signed: Case and movement signed Rolex;Accessories: Accompanied by Helmut Rösel's soldier's book, combat swimmer badge, iron cross, merit cross, original photo and two original letters with signature.;Furthermore accompanied by Bundespräsidialmamt letter confirming Helmut Rösel's merit cross, Obituary of Helmut Rösel, a document from jeweler Gerdes dated 5 January 1994 with original Polaroid photo signed "This is my watch" by Helmut Rösel, service test from 2013 by watchmaker Ralph Prinz with complete photo documentation on CD, two original lead plates, original Cortebert movement disassembled, copy of Vintage Panerai by Ralf Ehlers and Volker Wiegman and Panerai military compass with condition report.;Literature: An in-depth discussion of the present watch is available in Vintage Panerai by Ralf Ehlers and Volker Wiegmann, pp. 777 to 873.;Catalogue Essay;The present watch is one of the best-documented Panerais known to the market. Classified as "Type C", it is characterized by its comparatively longer fixed lugs. The inside case back furthermore displays the signature "Rolex S.A.", along with the reference number followed by the seven digit serial number.;According to scholarship, approximately 211 examples are known of reference 3646. The present watch is notably fitted with the anonymous "sandwich dial". It is highly possible that Panerai created these dials during the war years to avoid recognition, lest the watch was found by an enemy.;Helmut Rösel;Much has been said about this watch, its original owner and its surrounding history. Ralf Ehlers and Volker Wiegmann, authorities on Panerai wristwatches, have dedicated no less than 100 pages in their book Vintage Panerai on this fascinating subject.;Born March 17, 1924, Rösel entered the military as a young man. He quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a combat swimmer in the Special Marine Unit of the German Navy.;His meticulously recorded soldier's book offered with this watch, paints a very clear picture about Rösel's career. It provides a window into the life and times of war-torn Germany in the 1940s.;Rösel had donned the present watch while carrying out missions in Duisberg and Wittenberg. In his letter accompanying this watch, he states that every combat swimmer received a diver’s watch after training. Such was Rösel’s competence that he received the “sawfish” badge. An insignia of the special marine unit, it was awarded to volunteer fighters and those who had completed combat swimmer training.;Following the war, Rösel eventually became a Priest after studying theology. He was ordained on November 29, 1959 in Hamburg. As the resident pastor of Tank Grenardier Brigade in Hamburg, he was very popular among the soldiers. Affable and kind, his good character is well-noted in his obituary. In 1983, Rösel was presented the German Federal Cross of Merit in honor of his work in the field of military pastoral care.;Such well-documented specimens hardly ever appear on the market. Many military watches have disappeared with years of wear, combat and activity. This watch not only provides aesthetic satisfaction for its owner, but is an artifact of the 20th century, earning its position in both a collector's treasure trove or a museum.

  Description : Manufacturer: Panerai;Year: 1944;Reference No: 3646;Movement No: 16,521;Case No: 260’975;Material: Stainless steel;Calibre: Manual, cal. 618, /TYP 1 MOD, 17 jewels;Bracelet/Strap: Leather;Clasp/Buckle: Stainless steel;Dimensions: 47mm diameter;Literature: The present watch is prominently featured in Ehlers & Wiegmann, Vintage Panerai, The References, 1930’s-1940’s, pages 552-557, 2016.;Catalogue Essay;The present oversized military dive watch is an exceptional example of Officine Panerai’s legendary reference 3646. According to scholarship, 211 examples are known of the reference, having begun production in 1940. Established in 1860 in Florence, Italy, Officine Panerai was a purveyor of specialized precision instruments like compasses and dive gauges, and by the turn of the twentieth century, the firm manufactured wristwatches. Today, their vintage watches are design icons, easily identified by their oversized cushion-shaped case and clear legible dial. Panerai experimented with various compounds to produce a new luminous material that would be brighter and more effective for their underwater instruments. The luminous powder was named “Radiomir” and patented in France in 1916. Following three years of testing beginning in 1935, they began supplying highly specialized dive watches to the Royal Italian Navy. Evolved from Panerai’s prototype model, the reference 2533, their second model was the reference 3646, produced from 1938 to the early 1950s with variants classified from Type A to Type G, each bearing unique aesthetics. Manufactured by Rolex for Panerai, the present lot is part of the Type E classification and one of just 27 known examples. It’s fitted with a stunning, black “California-type” dial – a design patented by Rolex in 1941 with half Arabic and half Roman numerals – that retains its gorgeous, original glossy surface. The well-preserved 47mm stainless steel case houses a Rolex-signed movement – the manually-wound caliber 618.

According to scholarship, 211 examples are known of the reference, having begun production in 1940. Established in 1860 in Florence, Italy, Officine Panerai was a purveyor of specialized precision instruments like compasses and dive gauges, and by the turn of the twentieth century, the firm manufactured wristwatches. Today, their vintage watches are design icons, easily identified by their oversized cushion-shaped case and clear legible dial. Panerai experimented with various compounds to produce a new luminous material that would be brighter and more effective for their underwater instruments.
