Other than the vintages.....
of which there are 500 to 600 tops, the Pre-V are the...historical...ones. Somewhat "historical" are also the Pre-A (produced in 1997, year of the purchase from Vendome, but with all left over materials and components from Panerai) Of all the historical, the 5218-201A "logo" is THE most "important" one, since is the FIRST commercial Panerai ever produced (IMO) All the ones produced before 1993 were exclusively produced (on order) for the Italian Navy. For the true-blue/grass roots Panerai purists (including me) everything produced after 1997 it's just...Swiss stuff...that has nothing to do with the..historical Panerai period. Don't get me wrong, there are quite a few beautiful models (some breathtaking) produced after 1997 from the Vendome people but they are just modern Panerais.

A blast from the Past: Panerai Pre Vendome 5218-203/A.
It was not my favorite Pre Vendome piece, but it didn't lack charm with its greyish black PVD case and this creamy patina of the indices. Credit picture: Antiquorum. Enjoy, Nicolas ...
The very early 90s Panerai
Those were good times! I really liked the early days wooden boxes: they really looked artisanal, including the little metal plate
Yes, the good old time !!
And superb patina of the ( fat ) index and numbers of the dial ....
it looks indeed different from nowadays Panerai...excellent..
is it from the pre-Richemont era?? this might explain also the wooden box...once you got such a watch, it was a package that included all the right details...
Lovely piece but
pls educate me ,ist it true that these pieces declined in price just recently ?
Yes, but......
technically, they got back to their "value". The Asian bubble, had a ridiculous effect on the T-dialled models. Japanese, Hongkongers, Indonesian, Malaysians, Thai and last but by no means least...Chinese, chased after everything that was remotely connect...
Can you tell me
which models considered important?obviously i can do my homework but a professional help saves time and

Thanks ,
I used to be in love with PAMs had a Rad(pam210) for certain time but magic gone ,those days the Pre V models were super expensive but these days might worth to look around,i m not planning to build a collection but a nice single piece may find its pillow...
Why such a fluctuation in price
202 70k 201 18k 203 50k personally like the logo the most
The prices you've mentioned are not correct.....
in a way. Both the 201A and 202A have TWO different price tags: one for the matching and one for the non matching models. A 201A NM, if pristine and with the "right" patina, has a market price of upward of 50K. The same goes for a 202A NM which goes for 8...
The market has..shifted
slightly. 10 years ago EVERY 202A was going for that amount. Today, the average ones go for 45/55K and the NM have gone up again. Same for the 201A, 10 years ago 30-35 for a matching, 45/50 for a NM. Today 15/20 for a matching, upward of 50 for a NM. The ...
TbH tgese all beased on quick search on
C24 ,i guess NM stands for non matching dial .
This is NM..but..
the indices are normal NOT "extra fat" like the one of my friend in the picture above
Unfortunately....
the 5218-201A and the 5218-202A, for different reasons stole the "thunder" from the 203A. If, on that, you add that the 004Pre-A is (almost) the carbon copy which can be had for a..song and a dance..compared with the 203A, you understand why in th...
Regardless of the material....
I think that the 201A, being the..first..commercial Panerai, is THE superstar (for both the hard-core Paneristi and the more casual collectors). The 202A is a MammaMia and the 203A is..just a Pre-V Panerai in PVD. IMO of course
That'll be nice. Looking forward to seeing them....
in the meantime I corrected your..pride=price..typo and deleted your...correction, ok?
Sadly those days are long gone my friend!
i remember the excitement when I used to see one of those pre-vs at a certain GTG. Too bad the days have changed!! I still have some weakness for a 202a non matching though
