Officine Panerai

Hi all,
I was just enhancing my knowledge in the world of PAMs and I came across the PAM322 in titanium having the same mechanical specs as the 2012 specialities launch PAM399. The difference is the metal used, sapphire crystal glass and dial color. Iam asking fellow purists did I miss anything? Will the 399 will be a collectible reference for a panerai collector? Any thoughts?

UAE Paneristi ( as a dear friend likes to call me that) lol!

the two models have is the Vintage Minerva movement. The rest is quite different. The 322 is a traditional Radiomir model, derivative from the 3646. The 399 is more of a..transitional...model with close resemblance to the 6154 (Egiziano Piccolo). The 399 will be issued in...only...100 Units. I'd say that qualifies as a..collector's item, don't you?

Only a few pieces are being made and it has that beautiul case and huge Rolex crown   Yummy!

The only thing that holds the PAM399 back is the high price tag of ~USD $28,000.  Price is a lot so you won't have as much demand for it.

Cheers,
Anthony

that the list price for 309/322 is around USD$26k?

If that is the case, I'd definitely opt for the PAM399 hand over fist.  It's such a more unique watch IMO.

Anthony

the tobacco dial and half the quantity (only 50 itd of 100) turned the 322 into the "star of the show".. It's worth a lot more than 26KUSD...

also the 21 was....pretty expensive...when it came out first, right?... 

First you're getting a platinum case for the PAM21 and secondly, you get a vintage Rolex movement.

Just the fact that it's a platinum case makes it a much better deal.
