Background History of Officine Panerai
In 1860, Giovanni Panerai opened his watch shop on the Ponte alle Grazie, located near Florence. From 1864 to 1870, Panerai develops its high precision mechanical engineering side and was an official supplier of the Royal Italian Navy. The company later becomes officially known as Officine Panerai.
Watches made between the "rebirth" of Panerai in 1993 to the acquisition of the company by the Vendome group in 1996/97 are usually called pre-Vendome Watches.
