Icon14 Auction result - Type A 6152 - doubled estimate

“Type A” ref. 6152 (with Rolex movement) that originally belonged to Rear Admiral Amedeo Vesco of the Italian Navy sold at auction on January 23, 2019.

Estimated at €80,000€ - €120,000.

Final price: €226,000.

I guess Panerai values aren’t totally dead in the water? ;-)

Nope, the death of Panerai has been greatly blown out of proportion. It's only dead to flippers ......LOL.

I think this sold at a great price for lots of reasons. It has great provenance, it has a Rolex movement, and it has the Radiomir 1940 case (though I understand that the cases weren't even made in the 1940s). This is pretty rare no?

Can any experts shed light on when this reference was probably issued? I am assuming post WWII.

Judging by the Internet, there are a few angry flippers out there.

Too bad for them they hadn't gotten into Panerai for the right reasons...
