Good evening everyone.

The long-standing obligation to wear masks has finally come to an end, and today is finally the day we can finally wear them again! However, it is a tough time for people with hay fever, so we still can't take our masks off... that's really tough. (laughs)

Well, today I would like to introduce several Aquanauts, which are one of the most popular models from Patek Philippe. They are priced reasonably, so please read to the end and consider purchasing one.

"Ref.5167A-001"
"Aquanaut Extra Large" SS

The current model, the Aquanaut Extra Large, Ref. 5167A-001, was announced in 2007 as the third generation of the Aquanaut.

With a case diameter of 40.8mm and a case thickness of 8.1mm, this watch has an extremely easy-to-use size, and coupled with the tropical band design, it may at first glance appear to have a strong casual feel, but it has a chic and stylish design that is easy to match with a suit, showcasing Patek Philippe's sense of style.

The condition is excellent, with the exterior finishing (case, D-buckle) done at our affiliated workshop. The warranty date is August 2011. A new uncut tropical band is attached, and a pre-cut used band is also included.

The selling price you are interested in is 6,798,000 yen (tax included)

The exterior has been finished and there are no noticeable scratches or scuffs, and the selling price is also reasonable, so this is an item that we would especially recommend to those who want to use it heavily.

"Ref.5167A-001"
"Aquanaut Extra Large" SS

We have one more Aquanaut Extra Large "Ref. 5167A-001" in stock, which we introduced recently, so we would like to introduce it to you.

This watch has minor scuffs and inconspicuous scratches from use, but is in excellent condition with its sharp-edged, non-polished case and buckle.

It was overhauled by the manufacturer in January 2023, and comes with a new tropical band purchased at that time. Since it is uncut, you can adjust it to your size and wear it, or keep it as a spare, making it a great value set.

The warranty date is November 2016. This is a one-owner item that has not been polished and has been overhauled by the manufacturer. Furthermore, the condition of the accessories is very good, and it also comes with a new tropical band, making it a recommended item.

The selling price you are interested in is, 7,370,000 yen (tax included)

After purchase, no maintenance is required for a while, and it is in very good condition, so it is a great deal and highly recommended! I don't think you'll be able to find one in this condition at this price anywhere else.

"Ref.5164A-001"
"Aquanaut Travel Time" SS

The last watch we would like to introduce is the Aquanaut Travel Time "Ref. 5164A-001" with a stainless steel case, which was released at Baselworld in 2011.

The case diameter is 40.8mm, the same as the "Ref. 5167A-001", and the case thickness is suppressed to 10.2mm even though it is equipped with a travel time mechanism, so there is no stress when wearing it. With the travel time adjustment button on the side of the case at 9 o'clock and the date display at 6 o'clock on the dial, it has a bold face and a solid construction.

Now, let me give you a brief explanation of the Travel Time mechanism.

The travel time mechanism refers to a mechanism that displays the time in two time zones simultaneously, and there are two hour hands on the dial. 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.).

How to use the Travel Time mechanism
- Press the push button at 8 o'clock to advance one hour - Press the push button at 10 o'clock to advance one hour - Press the buttons on the side of the case at 10 o'clock and 8 o'clock to change the time zone (normal hour hand operation)
- Small windows at 3 o'clock for HOME (departure point) and 9 o'clock for LOCAL (local location) distinguish between day and night (6am to 6pm: white, 6pm to 6am: blue)

I hope you have realized that it is a very practical mechanism that is easy to operate and understand.

The warranty date is December 2019. This is a one-owner item with very little wear and a very beautiful non-polished item with only a few minor scratches. The tropical band also shows almost no signs of use and can be worn as is.

The selling price you are interested in is 9,460,000 yen (tax included)

The Aquanaut Travel Time is a popular model among overseas customers, and we have been receiving many inquiries about it recently. The model we are introducing this time is a high model and in very good condition, so there is a "high" possibility that it will be sold quickly. If you are looking for one, hurry up so you don't miss out!
