5218-202-A

I already wrote a review on the Panerai PAM 5218, as soon as it was officially announced and shared my passion for this watch with you. Seeing it on line is one thing, being able to handle it and to see it in person is another thing, most of you know that

At the " reissue game", Panerai is very good. We can even say that when they revisit their past, they often do it in a very good way. There are a lot of references which are revisiting the past. The 372, the 587, the 662, the 127, the 21, the Mare Nostrum

From SJX: "Visually, the PAM05218 a faithful remake of the Luminor ref. 5218-202/A of 1993, a “Pre-Vendome” model that became one of the most desirable watches of the 2000s. The watch retains the same design and many of the details, including the “non mat
