Good evening everyone.
The weather has been nice recently, so I've been taking walks around Ginza during my breaks at work. If you happen to notice me when you're in Ginza, please feel free to say hello. People often say I have a scary face, so it may be hard to talk to me, but I have a gentle heart, so please don't worry. (laughs)
In addition, from October 22nd (Sun) to 31st (Sun), we will be holding a rebate festival called " CTG ", which is held irregularly several times a year to show our appreciation to our customers. Not only will you be able to buy and sell at a great price, but we will also be holding events that you can enjoy, so please check out the details.
Well, this time I would like to introduce some rare and amazing models that I love so much. Please enjoy until the end.
"Ref.5204P-011"
"Perpetual Calendar Split Second Chronograph" PT
The "Ref. 5204P-011" features a PT (platinum) case and black dial and was announced at Baselworld in 2014.
At first glance, the combination of a platinum case and black dial may seem common, but it is actually only available on the higher-end models, making it a special watch. It is also a rare watch, as it was sadly discontinued just five years after it was first released.
Bold design changes have been made, such as the addition of a leap year display (between 4 and 5 o'clock), a white and blue display window (between 7 and 8 o'clock) that allows the user to distinguish day and night, and the moon phase window at 6 o'clock, which was previously cut out at the top, now being moved to the bottom.
Other improvements to visibility include an increased size of the date display numbers around the outside of the moon phase, a calendar window showing the day and month at the 12 o'clock position, and luminous material on the hour and minute hands and dial indexes.
The chronograph can be operated in the same way as a regular watch, with the push button at 2 o'clock to start and stop the time, and the push button at 4 o'clock to reset the time. The "split-second" can be started and stopped with the push button integrated with the crown at 3 o'clock. This large crown has a strong presence and seems to create a special feeling.
The case is 14.3mm thick, giving it a solid feel, but it is not stressful to wear, and the chunky feel is charming and beautiful. By the way, we have a "Perpetual Calendar Chronograph" "Ref. 5270P-001" in stock at our store that does not have a "split-seconds mechanism," so let's compare them.

Since it does not have a split-second mechanism, the "Ref. 5270P-001" is 12.4mm thick, which is about 2mm thinner, and when you look at them side by side, the difference in thickness is obvious.
As is customary, a diamond, which is also a sign of a PT (platinum) case, is placed on the side of the case at 6 o'clock next to the moon phase adjustment button.
The movement seen through the skeleton case back is the Cal.CH 29-535 PS Q, which was developed and manufactured entirely in-house. The previous Ref.5004 model had some issues with the split-seconds, but this seems to have been improved.
But still, when you look closely at this beautiful movement, you can feel the microcosm! (laughs)
The warranty date is 2018. The box is not for the "Ref. 5204", but it comes with an additional closed back, calendar adjustment pins, and an oversized leather pass case.
The selling price you are interested in is...
That's what I wanted to say, but it ended up being sold immediately before this column could be published... I'm sorry!!!

I really wanted to introduce it to everyone so that they could examine it carefully, and as it is a wonderful model, it seems to have attracted a lot of attention. If you have been looking for it, please wait patiently for the next shipment.
summary
Since the product is no longer on sale, I probably should have introduced a different product, but I decided to write about it this time because I felt selfishly that it was a truly wonderful model and I wanted to introduce it at all costs. (laughs)
As for future shipments, these are extremely rare pieces and not easily obtainable, so we will be introducing them on Patek Ron as soon as they arrive!
And as I mentioned at the beginning, all of our staff will be working together to make our customer giveback festival , " CTG ," a great success, so I hope you will take this opportunity to visit our store!
see you!
