Do you always spend thousands of dollars before knowing what you're buying?

Looks like a PAM 86

Made for only two years (C & D) and in relatively small numbers (the 4000 shown on the case back was shared among several models). Titanium with an anthracite dial. Frankly, not a very popular model when it first came out, but it has gradually become one of those quirky Panerais beloved for its unique look.

I'm not a movement expert, so I won't attempt authenticate the movement based on your pictures.

$3000 is an excellent price, especially if it included all boxes, paperwork, and other original items.

I've seen Asian 7750 rep movements and even though your picture is blurry, the decorations of the movement bode well for it being legitimate.

What's the model number?

This is a PAM 86 with an OP III Valjoux 7750 based movement. From the movement pics you posted, looks like it's good. I'd also say you got a decent deal. Congrats 👍
