For many years I have been an avid vintage watch collector. I love places and things that are from other times; the sense of history and the look of something aged have always struck a chord in me. One day I came across the Panerai collectors’ website. From there I began to learn more and become even further fascinated with these incredible watches and their long history.
My first acquisition was the PAM 21 and from there on, the passion and the interest grew. Attending the “Gatherings” with fellow enthusiasts brought me into contact with vintage Panerai pieces and ultimately, the 6152. When the chance came to acquire a very special and rare 6152 with a bluish tinted dial and Rolex movement I didn’t hesitate.
The search for a piece is one of the special joys in my life and it gives me incredible delight to indulge my passion. A relationship with Panerai watches encompasses it all; history, art and design aesthetics, passion and friendships.
