Panerai's oversized Italian dive watches found a big audience in South Africa, and there is still a steady stream of buyers for clean Luminors and Radiomirs. Limited P-series and in-house movement references sit at the top of the range.
What we look at
We check the PAM reference, the movement, the sandwich dial condition and whether the original strap and buckle are present — Panerai buckles alone carry real value.

Panerai questions we are asked
Is the original Panerai strap important?
It adds value, as does the signed buckle. Bring any spares you have.
Do you buy older pre-Vendôme Panerais?
Yes, and those are valued as collector pieces.
