Panerai has four major lines of watches, Historic, Contemporary, Manifattura and Special Editions. Most watches are produced in a limited run (normally of 500, 1000, 2000 or 4000 units) and carry an issue number on the case back. Panerai issues Special Editions every year. In 2006 it issued the 1936 California Dial Radiomir special edition, a reissue of the first Panerai model ever presented to the Italian Marina Militare. This model was limited to a run of 1936 units. As of September 2008, the price variation within the Contemporary collection varies from $6,000 USD to $25,500 USD for the solid gold Marina.
Panerai makes many watches as either limited or special editions producing fewer watches than the market demands. Retailers may only receive a few limited edition pieces each per year and there are long waiting lists for popular models.When Ferrari's contract with rival watchmaker Girard-Perregaux expired in 2005, Ferrari and Panerai entered into a five year agreement to design, manufacture and distribute Panerai watches displaying the Ferrari trademark. The collection was branded Ferrari engineered by Panerai and consisted of two product lines: the sport/elegant "Granturismo" and the aggressively sporty "Scuderia".[http://www.perfectwatchs.com/panerai.html Replica Panerai Watches] The collection consisted of 11 models priced between US$5,000 and US$30,000.[9]
Despite unique cases that were not shared with other Panerai watches and unique watch faces displaying the Ferrari brand, the Ferrari engineered by Panerai watches did not sell well, except for a brief time after their initial release, and were usually available for discounted prices. Panerai and Ferrari did not renew the agreement when it expired in 2010
