No, not 21 (even I like this model a lot!!!), not 203 or 127 oe 217. This one!!!

But considering the price is UNBELIEVABLE, I can't get this one...

Around 40,000 for this piece!!!

So, what yours most Desirable Panerai?

Best Regards, TR.

203
21
195
319
The Egyptian
...and some others I dont even want to think about

In my own collection, the 289

The 203 is pretty special

argee1977 · 2 August 2009, 09:40 PM

It would be the 289 for me, a PAM 233 in rose gold sounds good

But in reality, if i had that kind of money i would buy another watch and get a normal PAM as i'm not really into the PAM models at $20000+.

i agree, i don't care about the more expensive pams.

tuisquash · 2 August 2009, 11:12 PM

I LIKE A LOT OF 203, but never pay 100k for this watch.
the msrp (27k)? maybe.

louie · 2 August 2009, 11:40 PM

21

Nica64 · 3 August 2009, 12:32 AM

203

............ but the price is

NavitimerNut · 3 August 2009, 01:22 AM

203

Bebot · 3 August 2009, 01:37 AM

Right now if I have to choose one, then it will be my 88. It's the only one and I have.

Oh it's also for sale.

(To raise fund for 312)

After having had the 289 on the wrist a bit,the ss Luminors feel and look a bit lightweight.Its an expensive watch and not one that I wear regularly,other PAMs fulfil that function,BUT it sure is a nice one to own !!

The 289 is a magnificent piece.

BNIB and LNIB I have seen them advertised at very fair pricing,considering MRSP.Its a great buy !! Highly recommended

Just like the 140 you owned,but thats water under the bridge now ...........

brainbizz · 3 August 2009, 02:48 AM

Ferrari 024 289 and 249 not far behind. 203 is awesome but would have to see one in the flesh.

emagni · 3 August 2009, 02:52 AM

PAM 289. Go with the GOLD! :-) Chris, how much is it going for now for BNIB or LNIB? I'm seeing it go for around $23k (US) new and it retails for $30k I believe.

I saw one at a local GTG last year.A UK friend joined us the evening.He said he would bring the 195 with,then during the evening,he pulled out an unequal dial 210A,which is pretty special and then ....... a 203.I nearly flipped !!!!!!

I had it on the wrist for a few minutes ....................... It was absolutely wonderful !!!Most likely I will never see one in the metal again.It was truely a special evening.

Pre-recession they went for $150k,now they are going for $100k.I would say at the moment they are a "bargain".....well,relatively.

Anyone have a spare $100k lying around in change ?????

A table shot from the evening ............

TswaneNguni · 3 August 2009, 03:04 AM

If we have a GTG now,I would be able to have a 111 and 292 with PIG join the group.Wish I could see that 203 again !! Magnificent !!!

GBJIV · 3 August 2009, 01:32 PM

I think I would go 203 as well from Panerai.

Heard a story that when the L.A. Boutique opened - there were a couple in there for the first week. Not selling....

Wow...

vh_bu98 · 3 August 2009, 02:05 PM

I don't have one, but it would be the 98.
