Good evening everyone.

As I mentioned in my Patek Philippe article, this year's new releases were very good, and I think we saw a lot of great models. Today, I'd like to introduce one of the most talked-about models. The "Ref.5205R-011" "Annual Calendar" 18KRG model has arrived in stock, so we would like to introduce it to you as soon as possible. Please enjoy until the end.

"Ref.5205R-011"
『Annual Calendar』18KRG

First, let's briefly review the Annual Calendar "Ref. 5205".

※Ref.5205G-001

In 2010, the Ref. 5205 was released as a new model with an annual calendar, with an 18KWG (white gold) case and two dials: rhodium x gray and matte black x slate gray. In 2013, two dials were added to the 18KRG (rose gold) case: white opaline and lacquer black. In 2018, a new model with an 18KWG (white gold) case and a blue-black gradient dial was released, and the 2010 model was discontinued.

※Ref.5205R-011

And as a new product for 2022, the 18KRG (rose gold) case and black gradient olive green sunburst dial introduced here will be released. As a result, the production of the lacquered black dial will be discontinued.

The most popular Nautilus model, the Ref. 5711/1A with a stainless steel case, was released with a green dial in 2021, but was only produced for one year and then discontinued.

This is just my personal opinion, but I expect that production of the current "Ref. 5205R-011" olive green sunburst dial will also be discontinued after one year or a short period of time.

※Ref.5270P-001

By the way, the Grand Complication model "Ref. 5270P" will also be discontinued this year with the salmon dial "Ref. 5270P-001", and a new model "Ref. 5270P-014" with a black gradient lacquered green dial has been announced instead.

This model has also been a hot topic since its release, and it is expected to be very difficult to obtain.

Nowadays, designs with openwork (carved sides) on the sides of the lugs are accepted without any sense of incongruity, but when I first saw this case, I was surprised that it was a case design never seen before in Patek Philippe. Although it is another brand, Audemars Piguet is focusing on the "CODE 11.59" and its case design is also very beautiful, so I wonder if I am the only one who thinks there is a commonality.

Returning to the topic, the movement seen through the skeleton back is the "Cal.324 S QA LU 24H" equipped with an "Annual Calendar" mechanism, based on Patek Philippe's representative "Cal.324". As can be said for other models, the 21K rotor engraved with the Calatrava cross is truly beautiful. The "Annual Calendar" is easy to set the time and calendar, and as the word "annual" suggests, as long as you keep it running, you only need to adjust it once a year in February, making it a very suitable model for everyday use.

As for the condition, there are very slight scratches, but it is in very good condition with almost no signs of wear. The warranty date is also valid, as it is a new model, so the manufacturer's warranty period is still valid. Of course, all accessories, including the warranty, are included and in good condition.

The selling price is 9,999,000 yen (tax included).

The official suggested retail price in Japan is 7,029,000 yen (tax included). Although it is a premium price, there are almost no units for sale in Japan, and the lowest price on a certain famous overseas website is in the early 12 million yen range (tax not included). With a very beautiful dial color, this is a model that we would definitely recommend.

Finally, the new 2021 model "Ref. 4947/1A-001" has actually arrived for the first time. With a blue dial reminiscent of vertical and horizontal denim, a stainless steel case, and a bracelet that fits comfortably on the wrist, this model is suitable for everyday use. We plan to post this as a new product on our website today, so we hope you will check it out as well. We will talk about this model in more detail at another time.

summary

What do you think of the above?

Patek Philippe watches are rarely available on the market, and many models are not frequently in stock, but we will continue to introduce new models to you as soon as they arrive.

see you!
