Collectors what is your rarest Panerai watch.

[Mike777]

I have several that may be called rare. I have a 202 Slytech, a 064, 082, 356, and a 187. The 194 which has the same bezel as the 187 seems to be the rarest I have since it never seems to be sold. .

The 225 is the one I can never get and I have tried for years.

My 165 franken, gen dial/hands on a titanium DSN case.

It's the only one ever built as far as I know.

Holy cow, we might have a winner here, I think I saw two of these in all my time on the forums. Congrats Erick.

Here is my jewel. Surely not as rare but it definitely has a place in my heart

Currently the rarest PAM in my collection is the VSF PAM213. Considering that only 80 reps were ever made, for sure it is one of the rarest PAM reps of all time.

Another two of my "rarely seen watches" are the 5218-210a and Slob. These 10+ years old reps are out there but not being shared on the forum mostly because their owners have became inactive.
You can rarely see the PAM172-192 (tantalium duo), PAM027-028-057 (power reserve trio) or even the 029-063 with Swiss ETA inside (GMT duo).

Recently I sold my 225 to a friend and found another one for another friend of mine. They are out there, all you need to learn is how to hunt them down.

All the others that have been mentioned (064-187-082-....) are not rare at all. If they are rarely posted in the eyecandy or m2m section, doesn't mean they are rare.

Another is the PAM076 that I found sleeping in the watchbox and rarely seen posted on the forums.

My 253 ... not really rare, but the rarerest in my collection.

There's a handful of 192s around so I wont post that but it's either the 009 or the 060

Heck, edited and added my 308 and 192

Anyone have a Panerai 00590? I thought I saw someone have it, but I never been able to find not 1.

 

[EuroTime25]

Wonderful 590

There was a rep V6F, but not with a black dial, but a brown one, which is not correct, so it was not distributed.
Although, this is not really the topic of this discussion.

I understand. I was just hoping someone had one I can snag. Lol

Rare indeed. What are the specs? Rollie did some 55 dials and a couple of builds used the H Fac T case from the 61

Quick question:
"Rare Panerai" as of factories released models or custom builds?
Asking for a friend....
