Officine Panerai

We very often saw pictures of the modern Cali, in stainless steel, most of the time, in platinum, rarely, and in white gold. But what about the origins? I had the pleasure to see one, yesterday, at a small gathering. The perpetual problem is that most oft...  

You burn my heart too! Merci beaucoup for the wonderful shots! Ciao Stephen

My heart beats faster when I look at it... I still remember my first encounter with one example... And I still couldn't forget how it feel and how it look... Vintage Panerai is really something in a very different league.. Not just it has the beauty but a...  

Once I was offered a superb 6152 4 Lines ( which is a grail for me ), and I just had to sell my 2 Pre Vs and my 2 Vendome. I decided to do so, but it took too much time. And you know how much I love my Logo and Mare Pre V! But there was no doubt in my min... 

I was lucky to be able to see that rare beauty in metal... So a question for you Nicolas, Would you sacrifice 2 PreV for a vintage? For me, it's gonna be really tough... Although I agree with you that nothing can beat a vintage Panerai, but really I will ...  

i know what you're Thinking Sam.! and you are Dangerous :0))))))

Honestly, for now, I have to say NO.. As much as I desire a Vintage Panerai, like other Paneristi I really cannot afford it unless I sell my pieces And to sell my PreVs are gonna be the toughest thing I will need to do.. + that I won't be able to decide w...

when I see the pics. It was so breathtaking........One of the reason I love about PAMs is the history that is behind it. The history is so rich....And the enthusiasm of PAM collectors who are always eager to share and have great pride in the watches that ... 

And PAM collectors collect only modern ( Vendome ) Panerais. Hopefully, there is a story outside Vendome pieces. But I do get what you meant. Best, Nicolas.

Thanks for the enlightenment, Nicolas. Cheers

who has this mindset. There is always something to learn everyday...thanks again Nicolas. Cheers

The problem is that many re assembled these Vintage Pannies to make some easy money.... And, from time to time, it is difficult to say if it is original or not. Hence the problem with the Vintage Panerais. When you know that some who authentificate the Vi... 

watch does look good! tempting doesnt it... Nice!

500-600? where did you get this quantity from? Over the decades it seems that many knowledgeable parties are increasing the amount of Vintage Panerai/Rolex Watches. Personally I will stick with what I learnt t a time when Panerai was not too famous from t... 

Was npot sure, to be honest, but I had a curious and strange feeling, an intuition, to say it better. Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge. Anyway, these Vintage Pannies are really something, and on this I think we'll agree. Best, my friend. Ni... 

You need to acquire such piece with a secured background, the rest are chamallows.

Panerai history, sequence of series, delivery order, and relevance, imho, unless all are properly documented and archived, no one is able to ascertain the correctness of it all, this is the interesting part especially for their vintage pieces, where each ...
