I tooks some new pics of my PAM21
I haven't worn my PAM21 in a while so I made sure to take some pictures when I did. There's just something great about wearing a heavy platinum watch!
It's always a real pleasure winding up this Rolex movement because the wind click sound is extremely loud. Also, if it's really quiet in the room, you can hear the tick tock tick tock sound like in a pocket watch.
I was top bidder in the Antiquorum NYC auction in May 2004, so I've had this watch for over 9 years. Next year will be a decade - time sure flies by fast!
Here are some quick pics and hope you enjoy them.
Cheers,
Anthony

I remember the story behind your " 21 ", Anthony!
What a strong start this 21 announced, in 1997. The one and only one LE for this year. A fascinating Watch, all in nuance. The Brown dial, the tritium indexes, the Rolex Cortebert, and the platinum case was a winning combination. Feel free to post more pi...
I volonteer to watch pictures of your 21....
once a week (let alone the few times you wear it). What a fantastic piece. I understand the...platinum...effect (the 373 is no feather either) but the 21's dial is good enough to...lick. As for the movement, I don't even want to go into that.... :-) Thank...
Thanks for posting these...
and we need to have a SoCal GTG so that I can finally see one in the metal.. T-dial with strap that needs to be sewn on.. and that story of how you acquired it..just adds to this piece.. I am happy today...
Beautiful
Thanks for sharing Anthony. I remember reading about your acquisition back then and thinking how expensive it was at the time! clearly you made a great buy! Congrats!
Like that
and it looks like you wear the watch regularly. It will be a shame for such a piece to live in a safe. An heirloom for sure ! Enjoyed the photos very much and I want one ! Thanks !
IMHO the most accurate reproduction of a Panerai!
No Swiss made on the dial just old school awesome!
What a beauty....I will trade you my 198 SN#1 for it...
Sorry lost my mind there for a minute.
Were they sold with some discount in 1997?!
Was it a success in 1997 or only some years after? I've read that the pieces were sold with some discounts from the AD! Is it true? Thanks, Marcus
PAM21's were on ebay long time ago below retail
No one wanted to buy them back then. - AT
Still
remember your posts about the bidding and HOW you clinched it in the end. It was very moving!
