Introducing our research work of the past years
and our passion for vintage Panerai watches:
Together with Ralf Ehlers I have written this
book about 5 vintage Panerai watches and their
individual history (4 x ref. 3646 plus 1 x ref. 6152/1).
The book is actually in production, it will be available
in the 2nd half of october. First orders will be shipped first.
The book can be ordered at this website:
http://www.vintage-panerai.de
About the content of the book:
The book is written in three languages. Each language
has it's column, mostly on the right pages. German
language (left columns), italian language (center columns)
and english language (right columns). The book format is
21,5 x 21,5 cm. The 228 pages hold 147 contemporary / actual photos
and 55 historical photos / documents, which most of them
are yet unreleased (e.g. an extract of a german frogmen's diary).
4 of the 5 watches carry answers and interesting stories about
their previous owners.
The finished book will weight about 1 kilo with a height of 2 cm.
Chapter I is divided into 5 sections - one for each Panerai watch:
