Watch of the week. Limited Edition Regatta by Officine Panerai

January 26, 2017

This week we share with you an exceptionally rare and collectible masterpiece by Officine Panerai.

Reknown for their days since supplying the Italian Navy these are iconic and highly desirable.

The association between classic yachting and Officine Panerai has been renewed for 2010, with the sixth edition of Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge, an international circuit of regattas reserved for vintage and classic sailing boats.  In keeping with annual tradition, Officine Panerai has created this special limited edition watch — The Radiomir Regatta 1/8th Second Titanio, a split-seconds chronograph with a 1/8th second foudroyante function and an express scale in knots for the calculation of the average speed of the vessel.

This pristine example recently returned from a full service by Panerai at a cost of £1600 and included the fitment of a beautiful and unworn alligator strap.

You may wish to use this for sail racing but if not you will still enjoy the striking looks as the blue hands contrast against the black dial.

While large in size it is made in Titanium so just feels great on the wrist.

Testimonial

This is to state that when I visited the premises of Border Reivers,I was really impressed by the knowledge of Tom Fitzsimmons when it comes to Porsche.The standard to which the cars are presented is meticulous.I have been communicating with them over many years as their offerings of Porsche have seemed mouthwatering, but one never knows by conversation alone the extent of enthusiasm and detail knowledge that Tom has put into the business, so it was a real pleasure to be there for real. I have been connected with the Marque Porsche ever since the early 60s and have driven them internationally and for Porsche themselves over many years. I have been buying, selling and racing Porsche for 48 years and it is a real pleasure to see such enthusiasm translated into such a passionate business always seeking perfection in the product.UnknownQuick Nick with his trade mark front wheel in the air
