Weekly Watch Photo - Panerai PAM372 vs Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref 5402 - Monochrome Watches
Some photos need no comment and actually this Weekly Watch Photo is such a photo.

The Panerai is more than twice as thick. Now the question is, if there is a logical explanation for the difference in height. There are several factors that have an?effect on the thickness of a watch.
