Vintage Panerai Radiomirs: A Collector's Feast

Explore vintage Panerai Radiomirs: a community-driven feast of rare models, including the 6152/1 and PAM21, with detailed photos and historical insights.

Amanico initiates a community showcase of vintage Panerai Radiomirs, inviting collectors to share their prized pieces. This post aims to compile a visual reference of these rare watches, emphasizing the importance of detailed photographs, including case backs, to document their historical significance.

We don't have many opportunities to see real vintage Radiomirs.

It could be the moment to see all of them, and they are not so many.

I would like to get as possible pictures of this Radiomirs ( Cali or not ) to stick this post as a reference.

Of course it is better if you also have photos of the case backs!

I start:

1/ Seen at a Parisian Dealer:

2/ A British friend:

3/ A last one, which belonged to an American friend, a superb dial, but not very sure about the rest...

Ir is all for me, now, but feel free to share these beauties with us!

Best,

Nicolas
