My guess would be to go for a panerai agent instead of a panerai boutique if you want to get a discount.
Hi
Travelling to London in 10 days ( to Emirates and throw Wenger out 🤫)
I am out for the 42mm 1392.
Any chance for a small discount in Panerai Boutique?
Any other Panerai dealer in London?
Thanks
Alan

Discount on panerai

There is always a chance if they have the watch in stock. No harm in giving it a try. It has been my impression that Panerai prices are high enough for there to be room for a discount. In other words, I find them overpriced.

Google Chuan watch Singapore and see what discounts are available in the East .

When I bought a new U.K. Panerai The dealer let me choose a spare strap
from the Panerai brochure, in effect a discount given the price of Panerai
straps .

Thanks all of you.
I might go to visit the Boutique, and then try some of the other stores. I think Panerai is high priced, so some discount must be an option.
Just had offered a 2017 Rolex “Batman” today, and I jump all over it. So I might just have a look at the stores.
I tried a few models on in various outlets before deciding which one I wanted. Once I’d decided I bought mine from Chronext which had a 18% discount on it. The downside was that I had to wait five weeks for delivery.

Sounds like a great result for the various outlets... They pay rent and salaries and you end up buying the product online.
Strange that they are happy to spend time and money to show you watches at "various outlets" but then refuse to give you a discount and lose the sale. Perhaps they have a lot of customers for whom money is no object so they are better off not offering discounts, even though they do lose a few sales.

The Seiko Boutique in Knightsbridge refused to give any sort of discount, instead I was offered a extra years warranty.

I understand every experience is different, bug, worth a shot. I have been in Westfield recently and I was offered discount and an extra strap on a base model.
I decided to buy from a member here,as the base model 114 has the open caseback, but I kept that guys card, so if you are interested...

I didn't know there was a Panerai Boutique in London but I can see that one has just opened this year - was about time I guess
Its a nice boutique, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. They have a few limited editions etc too if thats your cup of tea.
Discounts are available on Panerai but the worst place to try and get a discount is the Panerai boutique. Why - well it is owned by Richemont themselves and part of the rationale for opening a boutique is to restrict discounts. Harrods are a Panerai AD and will give discounts on Panerai. Ultimately, the best discounts on Panerai mean shopping outside of the UK. With the GBP being very low against most currencies, London is a hot spot for buying watches for overseas visitors and ADs do not have to try to hard to sell them so are less amenable to a discount.
In the EU, Italy is probably one of the better places to get a discount on Panerai but if you are a UK purchaser the exchange rate works against you. Outside the EU, the Far East is probably the best place to get a discount.
