Good evening everyone.

This may come as a surprise, but around this time of year, a certain "equation" takes hold for me.

Autumn ≒ Leather strap ≒ Dress watch ≒ Patek Philippe

It may seem like it was forcibly tied to something, but I think many people find it to be a good fit. (laughs) From summer, when you have no choice but to wear lighter clothing, to the beginning of autumn, when textures and colors change dramatically, dress watches are useful because of their compatibility. Our store has a wide selection of high-quality dress watches, so if you are looking for one, please feel free to contact us first.

Well, this time we have two amazing Patek Philippe models in stock, so we would like to introduce them to you! One of them is a wonderful model with a leather strap. Please enjoy reading until the end.

"Ref.5990/1R-001"
"Nautilus Chronograph Travel Time" 18KRG

The long-awaited 18KRG (rose gold) case and bracelet model "Ref. 5990/1R-001" was announced as a new model in the "Nautilus Chronograph Travel Time" series in 2021.

The blue sunburst dial features a horizontal embossed pattern and 18KRG (rose gold) parts throughout, including the hour and minute hands and the edges of the indexes, which, combined with the case and bracelet, give it an elegant and glamorous impression.

The long-awaited first shipment of the "Ref. 5990/1R-001" was just the other day, but before long, this particular model has been restocked and is the second one in our store! We are very happy to be able to see it again!

Until the model we are introducing this time was released, the Nautilus Chronograph Travel Time lineup only consisted of the SS (stainless steel) "Ref. 5990/1A-001".

This model has a black gradient dial that looks a little darker gray, which gives it a modern and cool impression, unlike the classic atmosphere of the traditional Nautilus. It was sadly discontinued in 2022. However, the introduction of the 18KRG (rose gold) model has made the traditional Nautilus Chronograph Travel Time much more popular.

It is truly Patek Philippe's technical prowess that the complicated mechanism "Travel Time" is equipped with a "chronograph". Furthermore, the beautiful blue dial with each function arranged in a smart way shows its high design quality.

The movement that can be seen through the back of the skeleton case is the "Cal. CH 28-520 C FUS". Equipped with multiple mechanisms, the case has a very impressive size of 40.5mm in diameter, 12.53mm in thickness, and weighs 265g.

The warranty date is August 2022. All accessories are included and the item is in good condition. There are some minor scratches and inconspicuous marks due to use, but the item is unpolished and has a good impression with no noticeable scratches.

The selling price is 39,820,000 yen (tax included)

Although it is not a price that many can easily afford, this is a masterpiece that we would like you to experience for yourself in store its beauty and solid feel.

"Ref.5270P-001"
"Perpetual Calendar Chronograph" PLATINUM

In 2018, approximately seven years after the introduction of the "Ref. 5270" in 2011, the long-awaited "Perpetual Calendar Chronograph" series was finally released in PT (platinum) specification, the "Ref. 5270P-001."

Comparing it to previous "Ref. 5270" series , the difference in dial design is obvious, with the bar-type indexes from 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock on the "Ref. 5270P-001" replaced with Arabic numerals. The golden opaline dial is a color also known as "salmon pink" or "copper" that has been used in classic and special models, and the hands, indexes, subdials, and tachymeter scale are all black, providing high visibility and a vintage feel.

The stepped lug design is a perfect case design that truly symbolizes the "Ref. 5270". This bezel, although nowadays a design that can be seen on other models, originally came from the design used on the rare "Perpetual Calendar Chronograph" "Ref. 2499" that is almost only seen at overseas watch auctions.

On the 6 o'clock side of the case, a diamond, which is also a proof of a PT (platinum) case, shines next to the moon phase adjustment button.

The movement that can be seen through the skeleton case back is the fully in-house manufactured movement "Cal. CH 29-535 PS Q". The dial with improved visibility (large calendar display window under the 12 o'clock position, leap year display window at the 5 o'clock position, day/night display window at the 8 o'clock position) is realized by this movement.

The warranty date is March 2021. The box, adjustment pins, additional closed back, booklets and other accessories are all in good condition, and it also comes with three genuine alligator straps, making it a great deal. Although there are some scratches and scuffs from use, this is a one-owner item with a solid, unpolished case and folding buckle.

The selling price is 24,970,000 yen (tax included)

This model will be discontinued in 2022, but the current domestic regular sales price of the "Perpetual Calendar Chronograph" is The price is 33,000,000 yen (tax included) , which I think is a great deal.
