The Panerai boutique is located in one of most prestigious shopping destination in Johannesburg, the Sandton City Shopping Centre, Corner of Rivonia Road & Sandton Drive, with two exterior windows facing onto the Mall’s walkway. The celebrated Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola has reinterpreted the aesthetic codes and techniques of the high-end sportive watchmaking brand: the materials used are in perfect accord with the philosophy and history of Officine Panerai, clearly referencing its Florentine origins and the world of the sea. The distinctive elements used by Patricia Urquiola are the “calacatta luccicoso” veined marble of the floor, the polished bronze and wood used to make the single-sided vitrines on the outside of the boutique and the internal niches, the retrostyled chandeliers above the two sales counters, and the counters themselves finished in brushed bronze, a clear reminder of the world of the sea. The boutique is very welcoming, sophisticated, contemporary and elegant: as well as admiring the beautiful technology of Panerai watches, visitors can relax here in an intimate and luxurious atmosphere.
