Come on, my friend, you are way too young to wear (g)old watches! :))) I love the 372, the 587, and dream of the 662 and this 5218.
Panerai PAM 5218 Marina Militare: How this watch is a very dangerous one.
Panerai definitely did a great job with the PAM 5218. In my opinion, it is one of the most thrilling watch they made for these 15 last years, along with the 372, the 587, the 662 and some other impossible to find, such as the 1346 Guido Panerai & Figlio, ...
This is such a gem, Nico! Thank you for your great post!
In addition to all the visual qualities and a clever linking to the pre vendome watch, I find this model re-issue to be very comfortable to wear on a daily basis. Probably the most comfortable Panerai case for me!
Ah the 1346
Love the dial and those lugs! Sadly the movement is not very pleasant to look at, a solid case may have been better. So is the new 5218 at the top of your list now?
I also love every one of these watches…
thank you for sharing, my friend…I am eyeing a couple of Panerai as I type…
Wow Wow! dear Nicolas, this is a most fantastic post. Agree with you that it had passed several years since the last time my heart beated so fast as when this watch 05218 was announced past year.
You share here some legendary models and I only hope that Panerai will be re-issuing new versions of those models in a near future. I cross my fingers for you regarding your opportunity of catching a new 5218 for your collection. Un abrazo fuerte amigo mi...
Excellent post as ever
Mon ami. They’ve missed it with that blue armoire box. Paneristi 2025 did get a great blue wooden box, Panerai should have done better job. Pre vendome watches are more and more accessible now that the market is down form 2010s heyday.
Yes
There are some exceptions… I have this el cheapo (1084 with old wooden box) incoming to bang around. ...
Great post w superb pics, as always.. Thank you !
I am also waiting for one, but I am not overly optimistic that it may happen still this year.. 😉 - All your examples and shots of the pre V era are simply great ! Good luck to you to get yours soon ‼️ Best, 😊
Oh dear, not again !
I’m trying to wear gold watches like old school gentlemen now 😂 Big fan of the 372, one of the best modern iterations imho I know you prefer 662
The 5218 is Panerai at its purest form
Every single one of these references is giving me old school watch desire overload!
