A close up of the Panerai Pre Vendome Black Seal Slytech 5218-218/A.
The Sea Snake, the watch which never went to production at the exception of some very few protos, due to the fact that it was conceived during Panerai takeover by Cartier Richemont in March 1997.
A close up of the dial. I worked from a picture found on the net many years ago, so I don't know who to credit for.
Not my favorite, since my heart is taken with another Pre Vendome Reference, the Marina Militare 5218-202/A non matching, but still... A very nice looking and mysterious one.
Best,

Not my cup of tea....
on the busy dial, there are too many..english..words for both Panerai and for my taste! Much like on the "whitey" (207A). Less is more!!!!!
5218-218/A
Only 5 made with the basic UT 6947 movement and some say that they were assembled by ex-panerai employees using left over parts.
