Pagani Design PD-YS018

About this entry

80% of key specs known. Missing: movement, lug-to-lug, hardening.

PD-YS is a separate model-number series on Pagani Design's official store (PD-YS003 to PD-YS038 listed in October 2026), sold alongside the four-digit PD-16xx to PD-18xx codes; the brand doesn't explain the prefix. The YS models sit at the upper end of the store's prices (about $128 to $332 on 2026-10-21) and are mostly fashion-led designs with sapphire crystals. This one is a Richard Mille-style skeleton tonneau automatic (screwed bezel, fitted strap; paganidesignwatch.com calls it a "Tonneau Mechanical Watch ... Skeleton"). Movement: the brand says "Automatic S X5021" with a 36h power reserve. Caliber Corner lists an X5021 found in the PD-YS017 and PD-YS018 (21,600 vph, 36h, hand-winding, no hacking, Kif-style shock protection, made in China) and says the usual "Seagull X5021" attribution is unconfirmed; no manufacturer spec sheet was found, so no movement file is linked and only the movement type is recorded. The balance sits in an open aperture at 6 under a fixed bridge (Caliber Corner calls it a "faux-tourbillon" look); it is not a tourbillon. From the brand's photos: skeletonised dial and movement with central hours, minutes and seconds, no date, display caseback held by four screws and engraved PD-YS018 and 50M, lume dots on the markers and lumed hands (a store review mentions lume fading quickly), signed pin buckle. Brand specs: 316L, "case diameter" 42mm (tonneau case; which dimension is meant is not stated), 15mm thick, 22mm strap width, "Crown: Push-down closure" (a push-in crown, so not screw-down), sapphire with hard coating and anti-reflective treatment (side not stated), water resistant to 50m/165ft, 119.2g (not stated what was weighed), strap length 21.7cm. Strap material is "silicone" per paganidesignwatch.com. Lug-to-lug and lume type are not stated, and no independent review was found. Colour names are the store's and refer to the accent and strap colours: Red and Black Yellow have a black-toned case (coating not stated), Black, Black Blue and Blue a steel case; the Black Blue photo shows teal accents on a black strap. The store's option codes contradict some names (Black Yellow is coded "Full black") and aren't recorded. All colours $189.99 (crossed-out $208.99) and in stock on 2026-10-21; the store page shows 59 customer reviews (4.8/5). The store's gallery file names say "red" for photos of all colours; the images here are matched to what they show.
