Yasuharu Abe's Patek Theory ~No. 198~ Introducing the Nautilus Annual Calendar Moon Phase, which is both practical and a valuable investment!

Good evening everyone.

It's been so cold in Tokyo that it's snowing lately, so I hope you're all staying healthy. Influenza and coronavirus have been going around since last year, so please be sure to take care of your health.

Well, this time I would like to show you some recommended models of the Nautilus Annual Calendar Moon Phase that I haven't introduced yet! Please watch until the end!

"Ref.5726/1A-014"
"Nautilus Annual Calendar Moon Phase" SS

"Ref. 5726/1A-014" is a new model released in 2019.

This watch is equipped with a dial called "blue-black gradation," and the deep blue color unique to the Nautilus gives it a sophisticated finish.

The same color was also used for the three-hand Nautilus model "Ref. 5711/1A-010" and the model with a small complication "Ref. 5712/1A-001" that were released around the same time, but it is interesting to see how the look changes depending on the model.

Now, before we get into the main topic, I would like to first introduce some models of the Nautilus Annual Calendar Moon Phase.

The "Ref. 5726A-001" was released in 2010 as the first Nautilus model equipped with an annual calendar moon phase.

The combination of a stainless steel case, black gradient dial, and leather strap gives it a smart look.
*This model is currently on sale as of February 2024.

Two years later, in 2012, a new model was released, this "Ref. 5726/1A-001" with a stainless steel case and bracelet.

The calming black gradient dial and simple color scheme make this a versatile watch that can be worn both on and off the job.

Also released in 2012, the "Ref. 5726/1A-010" features a refreshing white dial.

The contrast between the indexes and hands that are bordered by the striking white dial is very cute and gives this watch a pop impression. As an aside, we have a "TIFFANY & CO." double-name model in stock at our store, and I was enviously hoping to get my hands on it, but it passed away just the other day, and I've been feeling lonely ever since. (laughs)

That aside, let's return to the topic of "Ref. 5726/1A-014."

Between the "PATEK PHILIPPE" and "GENEVE" indications at the 12 o'clock position on the dial, the window displaying the day and month, and the window displaying the date at the 6 o'clock position are large and cut out, and the black font on a white background makes it very easy to read. There is also a moon phase at the 6 o'clock position, but the outer circumference displays 24 hours, so you can immediately tell whether it is day or night. The "annual calendar mechanism" is very easy to use, including adjustments, and is suitable for daily use.

The 40.5mm case is just the right size, 11.3mm thick, and water resistant to 12 ATM. It is truly Patek Philippe's specialty to keep the thickness down to this level even with an annual calendar.

The movement that can be seen through the skeleton back is the "Cal. 324 S QA LU 24H/303". This movement, which is made up of 347 parts and a large 21K rotor, is a spectacular sight to behold.

The warranty date is November 2019. The exterior has been finished at our affiliated workshop, so there are no noticeable scratches or scuffs, and the accessories are all included, so we highly recommend it.

The selling price is 15,400,000 yen ( tax included)
