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 " ...
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
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
