Panerai Glossary of Terms

[P4GTR]

I am not comfortable with not knowing what so many Panerai terms mean. So may we start a glossary? Maybe sticky it? If you have something you think will be a good addition or need something explained, please post it up.

What does Destro mean? Pre-V (I know its vendome, but whats that?)

What are the letters designating? 177H/I/J/K/etc..

I can update this 1st post with a running glossary unless someone has a link to one already done? We need something.

destro = right hander,

destro in connection with a pam is a right hander pam, crown-guard on the left side of the pam.

pre-v = pre vendome.

richemont group had the name before vendome, and as vendome they bought the panerai company,

later they changed the name to richemont group.

all pam models which were built by original panerai italy are called pre-vendome.

177H / I / J / K = production or release year. = A: 1998, B: 1999, C: 2000, D: 2001, E: 2002, F: 2003, G: 2004, H: 2005, I: 2006, J: 2007, K:2008
