Good evening everyone.

The number of customers from overseas continues to increase at the beginning of the year, and it seems that Patek Philippe watches are also selling well. In this situation, we would like to introduce several attractive Nautilus and Aquanaut models that have arrived at Commit Ginza (hereinafter referred to as our store). For those who are considering purchasing one, the price is reasonable compared to the market price at one time, so we think this is a recommended time. Please enjoy until the end.

*Please note that some models may no longer be available for sale.

"Ref.5711/1A-010"
"Nautilus" SS

In 2006, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus, the Ref. 5711/1A-001 was released with a stainless steel case, black and blue dial, three hands (hours, minutes, seconds), and the automatic movement Cal. 315 SC. *The model we are introducing this time is equipped with Cal. 324 SC.

When it was later changed to the "Ref.5711/1A-010" with the suffix 010, the dial color became more blue and glossy, and the bracelet links changed from screws on both sides to pins that are removed by knocking them out. The movement "Cal.324 SC" is engraved with the PP (Patek Philippe) seal, which has extremely high and unique strict certification standards that exceed the certification standards of the "Geneva Seal" created in 2009. Incidentally, the watches manufactured after 2019 are equipped with the new movement "Cal.26-330 SC", have a hack function (second hand stop), and there is no time period during which the date cannot be changed. (※Production was later discontinued in 2021, much to everyone's regret.)

The warranty date for this watch is November 2017. It is a relatively old model and has some wear and small scratches due to use, but the case and bracelet look good. There is one link missing from the full set, but the accessories are solid and it is a recommended watch.

Sale price: Sorry! SOLD OUT!!

"Ref.5712/1A-001"
"Nautilus Petite Complication" SS

The long-selling model "Ref. 5712/1A-001" was released in 2006 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus, as the successor to the "Ref. 3712/1A-001," which was equipped with a small complication.

The Cal.240 PS IRM C LU movement, a derivative of the ultra-thin Cal.240 movement with a micro-rotor that represents Patek Philippe, is equipped with a petite complication mechanism, yet its case thickness is only 0.22mm thinner than the Ref.5711/1A-010 three-hand model released at the same time. This is truly Patek Philippe. All the Nautilus models are very cool, but in terms of the overall balance of the dial design, size, and wearing comfort, I like this model the best.

This particular watch has had its exterior finished at our affiliated workshop, so there are some areas that could not be polished off, but overall it is in excellent condition. The warranty is dated March 2014, and it comes with all the accessories, and the price is also attractive, so this is a watch we highly recommend to anyone looking for one.

Sales price: 13,970,000 yen (tax included)

"Ref.5980/1A-001"
"Nautilus Chronograph" SS

The "Ref. 5980/1A-001" was released in 2006 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus, as the first model equipped with a chronograph.

There are three types of dials available: white, black, and blue. Each has its own merits, but the blue dial is the most typical of the Nautilus. The subdial at 6 o'clock is a distinctive design that is also common to the Annual Calendar Chronograph "Ref. 5960P-001" released in the same year. This subdial at 6 o'clock has a 30-minute counter and a 12-hour counter, which are important for chronograph measurements, arranged coaxially at the 6 o'clock position. The first revolution of the white hand with a red arrow at the tip measures 30 minutes (0 to 30 minutes) written in blue, and the second revolution measures 30 minutes (31 to 60 minutes) written in red. The other overlapping white hand is the 12-hour counter on the inner circumference, and it is an innovative specification that allows you to see the measured time by looking at them together. The case diameter is 40.5mm and the thickness is 12.5mm, so it doesn't feel that big, but it makes a great impact when worn.

This watch has some wear and small scratches from use, but the bracelet has hardly stretched and the case is sturdy and well-made. It does not come with a warranty, but this is reflected in the price. It also has an archive and has been overhauled by the manufacturer in the past, which makes it a recommended watch that you can use with confidence.

Sales price: 12,980,000 yen (tax included)

"Ref.5980/1A-014"
"Nautilus Chronograph" SS

The "Ref. 5980/1A-014" with a black dial was released in 2010.

Compared to the classic blue dial, the black gradient dial has a more modern feel, and although this may be due to the production year, it seems that there are fewer of these on the market than the blue dial. The color goes well with both casual and formal outfits, making this a highly versatile model.

This particular watch underwent exterior finishing and bezel replacement by the manufacturer in August 2022, and is in excellent condition overall. Accessories include the warranty card, box, booklets including the Nautilus instruction manual, and a pass case, making it a suitable collection piece. The selling price has also been set attractively, so if you are looking for one, please consider purchasing it.

Sales price: 14,960,000 yen (tax included)

"Ref.5980/1A-001"
"Nautilus Chronograph [TIFFANY & CO.]" SS

The double-name model "Ref. 5980/1A-001" by Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co.

Please take a good look. Just adding this single line of [TIFFANY & CO.] under the "PATEK PHLIPPE GENEVE" logo makes it look more exciting and gives it a much stronger presence. Our store has handled several models with the [TIFFANY & CO.] name in the past, but this is the first time we have stocked the "Nautilus Chronograph."

This watch was overhauled by the manufacturer in November 2021, and the case and bracelet were finished, and it is in excellent condition with no noticeable scratches. There is no sign of stretching in the bracelet, and the case and bezel are solid and impressive. It is a rare double name with [TIFFANY & CO.] and is in good condition. This is a watch that we highly recommend to anyone looking for one. It is also a great collection piece, and we are very excited about the future of this model.

"Ref.5968G-010"
"Aquanaut Chronograph" 18KWG

At the announcement of the new products for 2021, the Aquanaut "Ref. 5968G-001" was released in 18KWG (white gold), with a size of 42.2mm and a black gradient blue dial, along with the "Ref. 5968G-010" with a khaki green dial that exudes a sophisticated adult look.

The Ref. 5968G-010 has a rugged, military feel with a matte khaki green dial, contrasting with the elegant, glossy blue dial. Even when the Aquanaut peeks out from under a jacket sleeve, it feels sophisticated and sophisticated, and is a true Patek Philippe watch that never looks too casual. The 42.2mm case, known as the "jumbo" size, is 11.9mm thick, making a big impact, but the 18KWG (white gold) gives it a classy look.

This particular watch has some scuffs and small scratches from use, but the non-polished case and buckle give it a solid, impressive look. The warranty date is in the second half of 2021, so there is still time left in the manufacturer's warranty period, and it comes with an unused, uncut tropical band, which is another recommended point.

Sales price: 14,960,000 yen (tax included)
