To celebrate the opening of their boutique in Singapore, Panerai hosted two Gala dinners. One for the press and partners. See Jaw’s awesome report here….Jaw’s Report
The second dinner was held the next evening and many of their loyal collectors, die hard fans and supporters of the brand were present.
