Good evening everyone.

How did you all spend your Golden Week?

This Golden Week was blessed with unusually fine weather, perfect for going out, and many people came to visit our store from far away, and our staff were able to have a good time. We are sincerely grateful that everyone visited us.

Well, this time I would like to introduce two popular "Aquanaut" models, but since they are popular models that could go on sale at any time, if you are interested, I recommend that you consider purchasing one soon! Please read to the end!

"Ref.5164R-001"
"Aquanaut Travel Time" 18KRG

The Aquanaut Travel Time Ref. 5164R-001 was released in 2016 in 18KRG (rose gold), about five years after the release of the Ref. 5164A-001 with a stainless steel case.

The 40.8mm case and the button at 9 o'clock give it an impressive size, but with a case thickness of just 10.2mm, it is an attractive watch that is exceptionally comfortable to wear.

The combination of a slightly glossy brown embossed dial and a tropical band made of the same color brown composite material gives off an attractive vibe that is sporty yet sophisticated.

The "Ref. 5164R-001" is equipped with a "travel time" function, which is one of the most useful features for those who travel abroad . Here, we would like to briefly review how to use the travel time mechanism.

The travel time mechanism refers to a mechanism that displays the time in two time zones simultaneously. The dial has two hour hands, the normal hour hand shows the time in LOCAL (local area, place of stay) and the skeleton hour hand shows the time in HOME (place of departure, home, workplace, etc.).

how to use
The small windows at 3 o'clock for HOME (starting point) and 9 o'clock for LOCAL (local location) allow you to distinguish between day and night
Press the up and down buttons at 9 o'clock on the side of the case to change the LOCAL TIME (forward and backward every hour)
The date display at the 12 o'clock position is linked to the local time

The movement "Cal.324 SC FUS", which can be seen from the skeleton back, was first produced when "Ref.5164A-001" was born, and it never gets old no matter how many times you look at it. It's simply beautiful. The buckle is also a new specification, and the tropical band, which is the same color as the dial, is about 17.5 cm long, so I think many people will find it useful.

The warranty date is 2022. It is in excellent condition with only minor scratches and inconspicuous marks that appear to have been caused during storage.

The bezel and case edges of the Aquanaut tend to be quite noticeable, so we expect that an example in such excellent condition as this one will be very popular. It also comes with a full set of accessories, including a pass case, adjustment pin, box, and booklets.

The selling price is 16,830,000 yen (tax included)

The production numbers are limited, and it is in excellent condition with all the accessories included, so this is a piece we highly recommend to anyone looking for one.

"Ref.5968G-010"
"Aquanaut Chronograph" 18KWG

The Aquanaut Chronograph "Ref. 5968G-010" was released in 2021 with a matte khaki green color and a military-style design.

This watch can be worn casually or even when peeking out from under a jacket for a sophisticated look. It has an impressive 42.2mm case, known as the "jumbo" size, and a thickness of 11.9mm.

The khaki green dial is full of sophisticated sophistication, and the tropical band of the same color gives it a casual impression, but the 18KWG (white gold) case gives it the weighty feel that is unique to Patek Philippe.

The movement "Cal.CH 28-520 C/528" that can be seen from the skeleton back is based on an automatic chronograph movement with a flyback function, and just like the "Aquanaut Travel Time" introduced earlier, it is simply beautiful in this shot. The tropical band is a little short at 16cm, so it is recommended for those with slimmer wrists.

The warranty date is 2021. There are some small scratches and scuffs on the bezel and buckle that appear to have been caused during storage, but the item is in excellent condition and unused. It also comes with all accessories, including a pass case, adjustment pin, box, and booklets.
