Art Basel: Haute Living Celebrates Panerai Boutique Opening

“I always said I wanted to end up with a man who wears a Panerai,” one VIP guest was overheard saying at the Haute Living Panerai event held in the open-air, candle-lit Penthouse at the Soho Beach House last night, and we don’t blame her.
The classic, luxury watch brand has just announced the opening of the new Panerai Boutique at Bal Harbour Shops, so what better way to celebrate than with the leading luxury Magazine, Haute Living.

Collectors, artists, VIPs such as Lea Black and beyond sipped on cocktails while enjoying the beats of DJ Ideal while browsing an impressive collection of Panerai timepieces. In addition, Cecconis Italian offered guests freshly-made caprese salad with mozarella made on-site, a classic touch to celebrate a classic brand.
