Officine Panerai

Guys I wanted to know your opinion on which Panerai do you think is the "hardest" one to get or reserve? (no vintage or 203 allowed!)

My list would be the following:

1. PAM 127

2. PAM 225

3. PAM 187

4. PAM 307

5. PAM 309

6. PAM 195

7. PAM 292

Thanks for the inputs!

But from your list if money is not an issue i think the hardest piece to get will be the 309, all others can be found from the secondary market!

(except the ones that are not out yet), if you have the right funds (even the 21).

Try getting one of the following: 077, 147, 158 or the 208 - these are hard.

Probably just for a price...

Probably the hardest to get on your list is the 225. It took me quite a while. Only 300 were made.

Are first the few Pams which never saw the light, as this special Pam 92, for example:



Don't know who to credit for this pic...

Then among the Pams which were produced....

1st of them, the Pam 208, which is basicaly a Pam 198, but with a brown hobnail dial...
It was made in a LE of 5 pieces, for the 50th of the AD Sincere, but I only know one which was produced, the Nr 1...
So I think that is the harder Pam to get.

Then, as mentionned Asi, of course the Pam 77, which was made in only 2 pieces.

And, of course, but if you have the money, it's not a problem to get one, the Pam 21and 203...60 pieces, and 150 pieces each.

Best.

However , some of the watch........there is nobody want to sell at all.

 

I cannot see;

26A, 21 , 40, in the secondary market around almost 1 year

67 is never see it to the secondary market at all.

Blue Dial Independent is one of the most rare Rads that I never see it in the secondary market too....PAM80, most of the Rad SE are the group that do not see it in the market.

 

217 + 127 is widely sell in Hongkong and S'pore since the price is the right for trader at this moment.

just my 2cent.

 

 

PAM46 is the limited edition white gold 40mm Radiomir GMT/Alarm.  Says made 60 pieces but I have a feeling that all 60 pieces were never produced.

I've never ever seen one in person or for sale.

PS.  I also want to add that just cause watches are impossible to find doesn't mean that they are "collector" pieces or command any premium.  Difficult to find Panerai's do not all equate to great investment potential.

Hello,

That equates to how much you have to spend and if the current owner is willing to let it go for the price you intend to pay.

The lower the production generally means its rarer. Rarity though is not a perfect indicator of value.

are usually sold off the boards and can be found. The PAM 46 that Anthony mentioned, that's almost impossible.

For the Pam 40, I was the witness of 3 Transactions off the board...

It's often the same for very interesting watches...

PAM 40

I envy you, my friend!

Best.
