Panerai Pre Vendome 5218 205/A . A special one.
Normally, it should be engraved 205/A and not 201/A. But a few of the 205/A received a Logo Pre V case back ( 201/A ). Such as this one: Credit: Sothebys. Best, Nicolas ...
lovely patina
The most interesting detail besides the watch is the 50hrs printing on the back of the strap...
that'd be less than the 30 ATM written on the caseback
looking forward to solving this little mystery!
There was a bit of confusion....
reigning in...Florence, back then Lolllllllllllllllll
No confusion at all with these...
They were the 12 first 205s made. Stallone needed them urgently and so it was decided to only change the dial on already existing 201s. All 205s and 207s were made with unsold 201 stock. perezcope.com Cheers Jose
