Panerai PAM 21. An old dream.
When Panerai surfaced in the 90's, the Pre Vendome were not very popular, yet. And when Richemont bought the brand, in 1997, they started with the PAM 21. Same thing than for the Pre Vendome... We had to wait the early 2000's to see the Panerai " fever " and the hard core fans hunting these Pre V and early Vendome references.
The 21 became a Grail, at that time. Only 60 pieces, 47 mm radiomir case in platinum, and Rolex Cortebert beating inside.
Best,
Nicolas

š yes you're right š
I keep Vendome PreV and Vintage in separate categories depending on the color of your Karate belt, Vintage is Black Belt no doubt š
I almost bought one during the pandemic
Just couldn't decide between the 21 and the 232, regardless of the case material and movement. Glad I didn't do it, still prefer the 232.
That really is a beautiful and special old school Panerai.
This watch just has so much going right for it the platinum case the Rolex Cortebert movement and a simple but elegant dial I mean really what's not to love. Marc
there is one for sale nowadays ...
if you can book a trip to Rio, it might be the opportunity to have some cachaca on Copacabana
I can arrange something š
went to the Lady Gaga concert last month, 2m spectators is quite a rowdy crowd!
Iām not a fan of the brand
But I definitely make an exception for this. When they do change hands, any idea of what price range?
Thanks for the memories of PAM21!
I sold my PAM21 #8 many years ago but kept the platinum caseback as my momento. So I still have a piece of it with me. Beautiful watch and I hope whoever is the new owner is wearing it on the wrist as I did. Cheers, Anthony
