Good evening everyone.
First of all, thank you very much for visiting us during the CTG event (customer return festival) held until the end of October, and for watching and participating in our YouTube LIVE. We were very happy to receive positive feedback from so many people, and the event made us realize once again that Commit Ginza exists today thanks to your support. We will now refocus our energy and strive to create a store that satisfies our customers.
Well, this time we have some rare and popular new and old "chronograph" models in stock, so we would like to introduce them to you. Please read to the end.
"Ref.5070P-001"
『Chronograph』PT
The "Ref. 5070P-001" was released in 2008, marking the 10th anniversary of the birth of the "Ref. 5070" series.
With its impressive 42mm case, stepped bezel, and bold lugs that make a statement, it is beautiful from any angle, and continues to fascinate many people even today, some 15 years after its release.
Before getting into the main topic, let me give you a brief introduction to the "Ref. 5070" series.

The first model to appear was the Ref. 5070J-001, which was unveiled in 1998 and was based on the Chronograph Split Seconds aviator watch produced in the 1940s.
Every aspect of this watch, including the subdials, tachymeter scale, applied Arabic indexes, and hour, minute, and chronograph hands, is adorned with gold, giving it an alluring aura. Despite its high popularity, it was discontinued in 2002, four years after its launch.

Following the discontinuation of the "Ref. 5070J-001," the "Ref. 5070G-001" was released in the same year (2002).
The slightly grayish white dial has been redesigned with black hour, minute and chronograph hands, sub-dial hands, applied indexes and tachymeter scale. The atmosphere has changed dramatically, giving it a cool and elegant impression.

Next is the "Ref. 5070R-001", which was manufactured from around 2004 to 2008.
The combination of an 18KRG (rose gold) case and a refreshing silver dial gives this watch a refined and elegant finish. We have not yet stocked this model in our store, so it is definitely one we would like to have in stock.

The final model in the "Ref. 5070" series is the "Ref. 5070P-001" that we are introducing this time.
This model, which featured a combination of a PT (platinum) case and a vivid blue dial, was discontinued after only about a year, so it has been very rare on the market since then. This is the third one we have in stock, and each time we receive a shipment, we receive many inquiries and immediately sell it.
Now that we have introduced the "Ref. 5070" series, let's return to our main subject, the "Ref. 5070P-001."
The dial has a subdued color scheme that is a shade of blue with a hint of purple, giving it an elegant impression, and the chronograph hand, sub-dials, and tachymeter scale are all painted in white, improving visibility.
The movement, which can be seen through the sapphire skeleton back, is equipped with the Lemania-based Cal. 27-70 CHR, which I recommend. Each and every part is finished so carefully and exquisitely that it can be called a work of art, demonstrating Patek Philippe's high level of technical skill.
The warranty date is January 2009, and all accessories are included. It comes with an unused blue genuine alligator strap, but also comes with a slightly used black alligator strap. It was overhauled by the manufacturer in October 2023, so it is suitable for both use and collection.

I really wanted to introduce this to everyone! However, as it is a rare model and many people are looking for it, it seems that it has attracted a lot of attention. If you have been looking for it, please wait patiently for the next shipment.
"Ref.5170P-001"
『Chronograph』PT
The "Chronograph" Ref. 5170P-001 was announced as a new model in 2017.
The PT (platinum) case features a gradient blue dial and baguette-cut diamonds on the indexes, creating a very beautiful and gorgeous atmosphere.
While models set with diamonds add a sense of luxury, some people say that they are too striking. However, this model has relatively subdued colors for the case and dial, making it easy to wear and suitable for any occasion.
The movement visible through the skeleton back has been switched from the previous Lemania-based "Cal. CH 27-70" to the "Cal. CH 29-535 PS," a movement that is an essential part of modern Patek Philippe.
The warranty is dated March 2019 and all accessories are included. This is the last year of production for this watch and is highly recommended. As for its condition, there are some scratches and scuffs from use, but the case and buckle are in good condition and give a solid impression.
The selling price is 14,960,000 yen (tax included)
