Good evening everyone.
This time, we will introduce the perfect season for I would like to introduce the recommended models of the Aquanaut , Ref. 5167R-001 , and the Travel Time, Ref. 5164A-001 .
The price of "Aquanaut" has been rising sharply from last fall to February this year, but it seems to be getting a fair price now. Among the bottles in stock at Commit Ginza (hereafter referred to as our store), the two I would especially like to introduce are the ones I would like to introduce. They are priced more attractively than other stores, so if you are thinking of purchasing one, please do not miss this opportunity.
"Ref.5167R-001"
"Aquanaut" Extra Large 18KRG
The Aquanaut extra large "Ref. 5167R-001" in 18KRG (rose gold) was introduced at Baselworld in 2009.
The dial features a glossy brown embossed finish, which, combined with the color of the 18KRG case, gives it a sporty yet luxurious and elegant finish.
The case diameter of 40.8mm x thickness of 8.1mm makes it easy to match with formal attire such as suits and jackets, as well as casual styles for off-days. The Aquanaut comes in a wide variety of models with different functions, but the three-hand model with only a date display is one that you will never tire of and can use for a long time.
Many people worry about scratches on the bezel, case edges, and surface of the bezel of the Aquanaut and Nautilus, but this watch is in mint condition with very little wear. There are almost no fine scratches, so it is in a highly recommended condition.
The buckle is a newly adopted double-door type. Compared to previous buckles, it is less likely to come off and has a more luxurious look.
The movement visible through the skeleton case back is the stable "Cal.324 SC" that has been used for a long time in the "Aquanaut". The 21K rotor engraved with the "Calatrava Cross" and the PP seal engraved on the beautifully beveled base plate are so beautiful that you will be drawn in.
It is in mint condition with almost no signs of wear, and comes with the warranty and booklets, and of course the pass case and box are in very good condition. The warranty is dated 2021, so there is still time left in the manufacturer's warranty period, which is another recommended point for peace of mind.
The selling price you are interested in is, 11,880,000 yen (tax included)
This is a later model with a new buckle, and both the watch and its accessories are in excellent condition, so I believe this selling price is an overwhelmingly attractive one, as you will not find it anywhere else, both domestically and internationally.
"Ref.5164A-001"
"Aquanaut" Travel Time SS
The Aquanaut Travel Time "Ref. 5164A-001" with a stainless steel case was introduced at Baselworld in 2011.
The 40.8mm case diameter and 10.2mm case thickness give it a solid and impressive size. The dial is black embossed, and its simple appearance makes it suitable for both formal and casual wear, just like the previous model.
Let me briefly explain the "Travel Time Mechanism" that is installed in this model.
The travel time mechanism is a mechanism that displays the time in two time zones simultaneously. The dial has two hour hands: the normal hour hand shows the time in the "local" place (your stay), and the skeleton hour hand shows the time in the "departure" place (your home, work, etc.).
▶ The small windows at 3 o'clock for HOME (starting point) and 9 o'clock for LOCAL (local location) allow you to distinguish between day and night (6am - 6pm: white, 6pm - 6am: blue)
▶ Press the buttons on the side of the case at 10 o'clock and 8 o'clock to change the time zone (normal operation of the hour hand)
▶ Press the push button at 8 o'clock to advance the hour by one hour ▶ Press the push button at 10 o'clock to advance the hour by one hour
Please note: There is a small button on the side of the case at the 4 o'clock position on the dial to fast-forward the calendar, however, the calendar cannot be changed between the hours of 10pm and 2am.
The movement that can be seen through the skeleton back is the "Cal.324 SC FUS" equipped with a travel time mechanism. I know I've said this many times before, but it's just beautiful.
The condition is that there are some scratches and small marks due to use, but there are no major scratches that are of concern. The warranty date is April 2013. It also comes with a pass case, booklets, and other accessories. (*The adjustment pin and the inside of the inner box are missing.)
The selling price you are interested in is, 8,888,000 yen (tax included)
I think the highly functional Aquanaut Travel Time is very attractive at this price. If you have been looking for one, please contact us!
summary
What did you think.
This time, we have introduced two of the Aquanauts we particularly recommend from the ones we have in stock at our store. Since August began, Patek Philippe watches have been selling quickly, so there may be cases where the watch has sold out by the time this column is published. We kindly ask for your understanding in such cases. If you are interested, we look forward to your early inquiries and visits to our store!
In the future, Patek Philippe Theory will continue to strive to introduce not only the hottest new models and rare models, but also models that we can recommend to you, so please look forward to next week.
see you!
