Good evening everyone.

First of all, Happy New Year. I look forward to working with you again this year.

Our store will be open from January 4th (Thursday), but we will continue to deliver Patek Theory to you without taking a break!

We currently have nearly 40 Patek Philippe watches in stock, but today I would like to introduce some of my favorite watches! Please read on to the end!

"Ref.6119G-001"
"Calatrava" 18KWG

The Calatrava Ref. 6119G-001 was released in 2021, along with the Ref. 6119R-001, which is made of different materials.

The case size has been increased from the 36mm of the previous model, Ref. 5119, to 39mm, and the adoption of applied gold applied indexes and dolphin-shaped hands gives it an even more luxurious feel.

The dial is gray with a vertical satin finish, and the warranty says "ANTHRACITE SATAIN." Although it is difficult to tell from the image, the small seconds hand is black, making it a two-tone color.

Although the case diameter has been increased to 39mm, the dial design is well-balanced thanks to the new movement, "Cal.30-255PS," which has been enlarged to a diameter of 31mm, and which has a long power reserve of 65 hours and a hack function (the second hand stops when the crown is pulled).

The warranty date is October 2021. Although there are some scratches due to use, the case is sturdy and gives a good impression. In addition, it comes with a full set of accessories and is a recommended product with an attractive selling price.

The selling price is 4,378,000 yen (tax included)

*The domestic suggested retail price as of January 2024 is: 4,818,000 yen (tax included)

"Ref.5524G-001"
"Calatrava Pilot Travel Time" 18KWG

The Calatrava Pilot Travel Time "Ref. 5524G-001" model released in 2015 features an 18KWG (white gold) Calatrava case, a varnished blue dial, and a calfskin strap that gives it a unique look.

At the time, the watch industry was abuzz with its unusual look, which was not typical of Patek Philippe. As it was a pilot watch, the luminous hands and dial indexes were clear and easy to understand, and it was also highly visible.

What makes this watch different from previous models equipped with the "Travel Time" mechanism is that the local time change buttons at 8 o'clock and 10 o'clock are equipped with a patented locking mechanism. With models that don't have a locking mechanism, there have been many cases where the button was pressed without realizing it, causing the local time to be out of sync! Just eliminating this issue has reduced stress.

Although there are some scratches due to use, the case is sturdy and impressive. It comes with all the accessories and has been overhauled by the manufacturer in 2023, which is another reason to recommend it.

The selling price is 4,950,000 yen (tax included)

*The domestic suggested retail price as of January 2024 is 8,657,000 yen (tax included)

"Ref.6007G-011"
"Calatrava" 18KWG

The 2023 new Calatrava model is available in three colors, and the Ref. 6007G-010 is the standout blue model. (Ref. 6007G-001: Yellow, Ref. 6007G-010: Red, Ref. 6007G-011: Sky Blue)

The use of refreshing blue throughout the ebony black dial and black calfskin band gives it a fresh, sporty look that's unlike anything you've seen before.

The center of the ebony black dial is decorated with a carbon embossed pattern, and the intricate design combines three different finishes: an inner scale with a fine concentric pattern, a satin-finished hour circle, and an outer scale with a sunburst finish and sky blue graduations. The slim center second hand is also sky blue, giving it a sporty yet refreshing impression.

The screw-type skeleton case back allows you to see the automatic movement "Cal.26-330 SC" with a "hacking function." There is no longer a time period during which the date cannot be changed, making it much more convenient.

There are slight scratches due to storage, but it is an unused item that has never been worn. It does not come with a warranty, but it is almost never available on the market, so it is especially recommended for those who are looking for it.

The selling price is 5,478,000 yen (tax included)

*The domestic suggested retail price as of January 2024 is 5,709,000 yen (tax included)

"Ref.4947/1A-001"
"Annual Calendar Moon Phase" SS

The "Annual Calendar Moon Phase" "Ref. 4947/1A-001" was announced as a new model for 2021.

Looking at the model number (reference), four heads means a ladies' model, but this is a unisex piece that can be worn by men without any problems.

The blue dial, with its vertical and horizontal satin finish (Shandong silk finish) reminiscent of denim, has a beautiful finish that stands out against the SS (stainless steel) case and bracelet.

When you actually try wearing the five-link bracelet, you will find that it fits comfortably on your wrist, and unlike gold or PT (platinum), it is lightweight, so there is no stress when wearing it.

There is no warranty card, but all other accessories are included. In addition, the links have been adjusted, but it is an unused item that has never been worn.

The selling price is 5,588,000 yen (tax included)

*The domestic suggested retail price as of January 2024 is 7,766,000 yen (tax included)

summary

For our first Patek theory of 2024, we've introduced four relatively affordable and great value models from the Patek Philippe models we have in stock, in honor of the number "4" in the year 2024.

Recently, all watch brands have been revising (raising) their official retail prices several times a year, sometimes two or three times a year, and Patek Philippe is no exception, raising its prices twice in February and August of 2023. The domestic suggested retail price will continue to rise in the future, so if there is a model you are interested in, we recommend that you purchase it as soon as possible.

In 2023, I spoke with many customers, and seeing their happy faces made me realize once again that our commitment is only possible because of our customers. We will never forget our gratitude, and in 2024 we will continue to deliver many wonderful Patek Philippe models to you.

We will resume business on Thursday, January 4th, and we hope to have many more watch discussions with you this year! Thank you for your continued support!

see you!
