Which models are the most sought after and WHY?

In addition to each model, please list:
1. Current/Discontinued
2. Retail and current value (pre-owned)

I know the 233 is near the top flagship for Panerai and is still current, but I don't even know the retail or the current 2nd hand value...

I also know the 127 is a sought after discontinued model... I think retail was like 6.5K and now is well over 15K.

Also, which of the new crop of Mannifaturas are sought after? The 312, 320, 321?

I just want to know what I'm dealing with.. thanks guys!

127 - Always sought after but hard to live with
232 - Classic Rad Ltd To 1938 Models, so right, 47mm historic, balanced, gold hands etc etc
249 - The one Cali dial, a Ltd Run of 1936, an odd ball in the range but only going one way in desirablility.

Check out the PAM 203 and it will cost you around $100K. It's discontinued. Then there's the 21....if you can find one for sale.

At Barron/Leed here in Wailea, Maui - I saw a 233 and a 25. Are those particularly hard to find and sought after?

Both regular production watches

I think being elusive is how high-end watch companies sell product. There aren't too many styles of PAM out there you can't get if you're in the U.S.

Anything Pre-v really. Very rare

My pre-v grail is the 4 liner 202-a

203 (150 made), 267 (6 made)

The 21 (60 made) , PT 47mm Rad case with Rolex/Cortebert movement. The dial on this one is INSANE. So hard to describe, but it is a sandwich filled with lum.
