Officine Panerai

… Panerai week! Lol! Though we don’t usually associate a white dial with the name Panerai the brand has offered and still offers some very nice watches with white color dials and I feel that the Luminor Daylight with its blue indexes is the most beautiful...  

Cheers! Abel

The Pre Vendome 5218-207a Blue Daylight was a Legendary Reference with supposedly only 4 known to exist.

having read 7 somewhere but that's not important. It remains the first white dial in Panerai's history. The prototype was created on Sly Stallone's request, for his movie "Daylight". He didn't like the "blue" prototype and asked for a different one. Proba... 

ha ha ha Yes! May be too frily sight inside that dangerous NY tunnel!! Lol! A big hug for you my dear friend. Abel

more than the other one. It has a dial perfectly in line with the Panerai's minimalism (what I call arrogantly simple) The other has a "forgettable" dial, IMO If you've seen the movie Daylight, you know what I meant about the fiery, dark, NY tunnel (which... 

" According to “Panerai – Una storia Italiana” a book by Loris Pasetto and Luciano Cipullo, 41 of these watches were sent to Sylvester Stallone in December 1995. Sly did not like the blue dial and 37 watches were returned to Officine Panerai S.p.A. in thr...  

I would never have bought it. When he asked me why, I told him that since I had the ORIGINAL reference, within phone/mail reach, I found reading a book....boring. He's scolded me few times, during our encounters. Besides, I don't like...knowing all. I pre... 

where there's a steak-house that rivals Smith and Wollensky or any of the others I've had a meal in. Only trouble, he brought this piece with him, and the my appetite flew out the window... Lolll These pictures are mine. I didn't even have to guts to ask....  

I am not surprised by the Treasure he showed you, beautiful pictures 😊👍🙏

Is it MP?

But have my suspicions 😋

btw I was still in Singapore, when I called Ferretti, about a vintage on his website. A very interesting conversation ensued, surreal at best, and the piece stayed where it was. I had promised myself a "stop-over" in Montecatini, in the course of my next ... 

very exclusive set, which looks great. I hardly know anything about Panerai,unfortunately, but I definitely understand the appeal of each watch and of this presentation box including a torpille model! I wish you a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel

Bought in Paris in 2006. That purchase started a long love story with the brand and several more models came to the corral since then. I had some up and downs in my love during these years and I confess that it passed almost three years without being exci... 

Before seeing the watches side by side, I didn’t realize that the numerals on the Daylight have a different style/font compared to the Black Seal.

Yes, the design of numerals is slighty different though they follow the usual pattern of all Panerai dials, specially evident in the number "6". Best cordial regards, Abel

The white and blue definitely fit wonderfully into the landscape here of the last few days 😁❄️ Joking aside, it’s an intriguing and very optically pleasing combination 👌🏻👍🏻

... lovely though probably not many hardcore Paneristi would approve. Have a nice weekend dear friend. Abel

have Sly's "John Hancock" on the back?... ...  

... small or John Hancock sized! Lol! I have seen your post showing it. Do you still own it? Though I find the blue indexes more attractive I feel your PreV model is a very interesting piece of collection for a Panerai fan. Thank you for sharing yours. Be... 

they would have put Sly's signature. Yes, I still have the 207A, in a big box with the "silver pig" in it Ciao bello

It would have been interesting if they had put the signature in this set of mine. I imagine it has something to do with the legal permission to do that. Best cordial regards, Abel
