A rare bird: Panerai Radiomir Platinum Ref 208.

May 16, 2021,15:45 PM
 

Platinum Chocolate dial, hobnail, for this PAM 208. 





Limited to 5 pieces, if my memory serves me well... 

Or Chocolate smooth dial, PAM 198, limited to 50 pieces. 



Both house this 8 Days movement borrowed to Jaeger Lecoultre, and both were issued in 2004. 

Best,

Nicolas

"8 Days" I don't mind. "Platinum" on the dial...

Horrible decision. And so many brands do the same. But, still some beauties here. Thanks for sharing, especially the hobnail dial, which I had forgotten about.

Good one! :)))

... JLC 8 Day movement.

I agree that 'Platinum' writing was too much, but everything else was perfect specially the JLC 8 days

PAM 00190 in steel is easier on the wallet and offers the same specs less 'Platinum' ...  

I understand.

True!

I don't like the "waffle" dial.....

I had a 197 and couldn't stand it. As for the Platinum, no comment. I guess that for some people..showing off..still has a part to play in the high end of the luxury items, IMO

I miss my 190
