Panerai Pre-Vendome Models

The following list covers Panerai models produced between their 1993 civilian launch and the 1997 acquisition by the Vendôme Group (now Richemont).

Key Characteristics of Pre-Vendôme Models

• Distinctive Hardware: These models feature unique buckles that differ from modern Panerai designs. These “Pre-V” buckles remain highly coveted by collectors for custom strap setups.

• Packaging variations: While standard models were delivered in oak presentation boxes with original documentation, the Slytech editions featured oversized boxes containing additional accessories and memorabilia.

• Production Numbers: While official manufacturing targets exist, they are often difficult to verify with absolute certainty. For the most reliable production data, collectors should refer directly to the engravings on the individual watch case backs.
