WATCH DETAILS

[Audemars Piguet] CODE 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Ref.15210BC.OO.A068CR.01

The watch that Nabe-sama purchased was the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Ref. 15210BC.OO.A068CR.01, which has an attractive color scheme that exudes adult sexiness.

SIHH 2019 At the Geneva Salon, Audemars Piguet unveiled the new CODE 11.59, their first model in 26 years. The name comes from 11:59, which means "the time just before a new day begins." The watch features a three-dimensional, modern case design, created by skillfully combining parts of different shapes.

This watch features an 18K white gold case and a smoked burgundy lacquer dial with a sunburst finish, making it simple yet rich and luxurious.

STAFF COMMENTS

Thank you very much, Mr. Nabe, for your purchase and for appearing on the "Watch Enthusiast Series."

Mr. Nabe is the son of Sachiko, whom I introduced previously. In fact, he is one of our long-time customers, with whom I have had a relationship since shortly after I joined the company.

He is a doctor working in acute care at a certain university hospital, and is busy every day, and I have nothing but respect for his sincere attitude.

In his private life, he has an unusual background, having started swimming as an adult. He has taken up the sport more than just a hobby, and has taken it seriously, winning multiple medals at the Masters Championships in Japan. This year, he even competed in the World Championships held in Singapore. I am truly impressed by his attitude of always taking on challenges and achieving results, whether it be for work or for fun.

The reason why you chose the CODE 11.59 is very nice. "I wasn't originally an athlete. That's why I've taken up the sport I started as an adult, with the desire to surpass the 'athletes'. If I were to compare it to a watch, I chose the CODE 11.59 with the desire to surpass 'star athletes like the Royal Oak.'" I was really touched by these words.

The burgundy color is a perfect symbol of Nabe-san's personality, and it suits him so well that it's as if this model was made just for him. It's the perfect watch to commemorate this milestone.

Apparently he was a soccer player when he was little, so we have a lot in common, and since we're close in age, we've naturally become close. Not only did I purchase this, but I also had the pleasure of chatting at length for the first time in a while, which was a very happy experience. Once again, congratulations on your participation in the World Championships! And thank you so much for purchasing "CODE 11.59" as a milestone purchase.

Q: Age

― 30s

Q. In what kind of occasion do you plan to wear it?

Q. What was the first luxury watch you bought?

- [Rolex][Rolex] Explorer "Ref. 14270"

The item purchased by S was: The Rolex Explorer Ref. 14270 is a highly popular semi-vintage watch.

This model, manufactured from 1991 to 2000, is equipped with the Cal. 3000 automatic movement, which incorporated the most advanced technology at the time. In terms of appearance, the watch has been reborn as a model with improved visibility and a bolder impression, with metal-edged indices and an upgraded crystal from plastic to incredibly strong sapphire crystal.

Even now, more than 20 years after it was discontinued, this versatile and reliable watch remains highly popular due to its refined design and high practicality.

STAFF COMMENTS

Thank you very much, Mr. S, for your purchase and for appearing in the "Watch Enthusiast Series."

Mr. S is a customer who is the same age as me, Satoda, and usually works a tough job at a bank. He is a hard worker who tried to balance baseball and his studies during his school days. His alma mater was a prestigious school known for its strong rugby and soccer teams, and I was surprised to learn that he was a classmate of a famous soccer player.

Previously, he appeared on the popular "Street Interview" segment of our YouTube channel "Commit TV," where he was wearing a Rolex Submariner Ref. 126610LN. During the interview, he said, "I would like to own an Explorer for my birthday someday," which left a strong impression on me.

And I'm really happy to have been able to share this moment with you.

The watch was actually from his own birth year, and the romantic feeling of having a watch that was born in the same year as him was what made him decide to buy it. With all-tritium finish, a single buckle, and a side-hole case, it's packed with 90s-esque features, and it seems he was able to really feel the "unique charm of semi-vintage."

And this time too, we had many inquiries and exchanges before purchasing, and in the end, the customer decided, believing that this was the one for them, and we are very happy about that.

Once again, thank you for visiting, purchasing, and letting us know about your purchase.
We hope you will continue to enjoy this special birthday watch for many years to come.

WATCH DETAILS

[Audemars Piguet ] "Royal Oak" "Ref. 15400ST.OO.1220ST.03"

The watch that Mr. K purchased was the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ref. 15400ST.OO.1220ST.03, which is said to be the origin of luxury sports watches.

This model, which was released in 2012, has an enlarged case size from the previous 39mm to 41mm, and its distinctive blue dial with a "Grande Tapisserie" pattern creates beautiful shadows depending on the angle of the light.

The contrast between the hairline and polished finishes on the octagonal bezel, case, and bracelet is stunning. The see-through back allows you to see the in-house automatic movement, Cal. 3120, making this a watch that not only has a beautiful appearance, but also allows you to appreciate the profound appeal of a mechanical watch.

STAFF COMMENTS

Thank you very much for visiting us, Mr. K.

The Royal Oak that you purchased this time was your first luxury watch, and we are truly delighted that you chose our company for it. The Royal Oak, which I heard you had always admired, really suited your personality.

We had a lot in common, including talking about soccer, and had a great time. I hope to be able to include Otsu in the next meeting.

I hope this Royal Oak will be a great start to Mr. K's "luxury watch life" and that he will become even more addicted to it. Please feel free to come visit us again anytime. We look forward to seeing you!
