Incoming Grail! Pre-Vendome

I’ve always been fascinated by Panerai history and heritage and despite not being a fan of the way the brand took, I’ve always admired its earlier pieces.

I’ve owned several panerais, but hasn’t got one in the collection since trending my 372 some 2 years ago.

I wasn’t looking to buy one but when this 5218-201/A crossed my path I didn’t think twice. It has so much character and the fact that it is part of the first series Panerai offered to the public only add to its charm.

It is a complete set, with box, original guarantee, and original buckle. Only the original straps were lost to time.
