Honestly, I don't see the interest of the 262
The only differences are the brown dial ( beautiful) and the platinum case...But 35 000 USD for that, NO WAY!

The 249is IMHO much better priced ( at the retail, of course, not in the Gray Market)...

Hi, Please could anyone tell me the origional retail price of these 2 watches? Best regards, Mat

YOU of all people, can't
understand why a platinum piece is appreciated? That's rich! And, you know they already made the 262 with the Cortebert movement, back in 1997..... Asi
a delayed response
Pricing has been a hotly debated topic relating to Panerai and other watch brands. The Panerai precious metals, perhaps with the exception of the PAM21, have not seemed to do as well as SS. The history of the brand as a military watch probably adds to tha...
