Rolex AD - Pointe Veccio Bridge, Florence

[Limestonedan]

Small, like most of the shops

[Old Expat Beast]

Nice little shop, but no discounts!

I bought a 114060 there 18 months ago (shop in the first photo) and got 10% discount. They also gave me a lovely book on the history of the bridge and Rolex.

It was when the £ was very strong against the € so I did well. Those times seem long gone.

That was a good deal for that location.

Been there. My cousin is a cop in Florence. 3 years ago the place was robbed in broad daylight.

I was there in the summer... just for a look/see was all, during a couple of hours free time. And the Panerai boutique of course

When I was there a couple of years ago, the only thing I could really think about was how much the rent must be at that location.

Went there 4 years ago on our honeymoon. My wife tried some on but walked away empty handed.

Had a lot of the high end brands along the way. Bunch of really nice Zenith pieces. Fun looking!

[Toivonen]

You get no discount as a tourist in location such as Ponte Vecchio ;)

Great pics gentlemen.

[GB-man]

Walked right past there after a day at the uffizi. Didn't buy anything though

[ernie2]

I love that place

[kilyung]

Love the Panerai store there

[Chadridv]

I was at that location a few years back on my honeymoon. It was lovely.

This original Panerai store across from Duomo..

Florence is beautiful, the art, history and architecture. Oh and the food, even had some amazing Indian food.
The boutiques were a nice surprise. To see all those brands would take a bit of driving around in Los Angeles.
We had lunch at the restaurant a couple of doors down from the Panerai boutique, the kids look at the boutique, then me, my wife says, "go ahead, I'll order for you."
Seeing some of the rarer models in person was great.

I'm not an owner of the brand but they are beautiful and different to look at.. I read an article in "Boat International" on the plane today which stated that that Giovanni Panerai, businesses man, craftsman and innovator opened the city's (Florence) first watchmaking shop in 1860. The shop across the Doumo was reopened in 2001.
