The "A" series.....renewed interest by more people....

....Panerai are realizing that there is so much history to the brand.

From its roots in Florence Italy in 1860...to the start of watchmaking in the 1930's to the rennaissance of the company under Col. Dino Zei and the watches of the early 1990's...people see that the original "Richmont" pieces from 1997-1998 are the "Pearls in the Oyster."


Because tritium was allowed to be used in those years, we have dials that show the true dials and replicate the watches of yesteryear.

The "A" and "B" series are starting to take off AGAIN.....the first time, after the initial offering, was back in 2003-4 when they jumped considerably as the marketplace grew faster than the Original Production.

Now I see it happening again. The logo's (5218-201A) have reached mid $30K.....the PVD Pam 9A (only 200 pieces) are now at $17,000. The 2A which is the SS shiny version of the 9A (well, you know what I mean as I think the 9a is totally fantastic) has reach upwards of $12K.....the 1A is a ways back but statrting to pick up steam as it has gone through the $7-8K range and, IMHO will be a $9k by Springtime.

Why? Supply and demand is the obvious catch phrase. And, yes, the marketplace determines the value of each series. So I guess it is safe to say with so many more people understanding the Value of these collector's items in addition to those who already are in the know...il Conoscenti, the prices will only go higher and higher and higher......

Just ask the people who purchased the Panerai Logo watch 3 years ago for $11,000.

Thank you
