hello everyone.
Although it is September, the summer heat is still lingering and it is hot every day. Coronavirus measures and heatstroke measures. There are so many contradictory measures that I honestly don't know what to do... I am a watch appraiser, so I will do my best to somehow deliver good information to customers through "watches".
Well, this time I'd like to introduce the three most recent Patek Philippe watches. *I'm sorry they've all sold out so quickly. (laughs)
We hope you will enjoy our selection, including some models that are rarely seen on the market, which are even in unopened condition (factory sealed).
Ref.5160G-001 Perpetual Calendar Retrograde 18KWG
Although this is not a limited edition model, the number produced is extremely small, and the entire case, buckle, crown, and decorative screws are all hand-engraved by skilled craftsmen, making this a true work of art.
Due to the shape of the lugs and the openable hunter back design, it is also called an officer's case. This particular watch was an unopened factory sealed item. Therefore, it is a pity that you cannot open the back cover to see the movement and the engravings surrounding it through the see-through back.
Patek Philippe 's engraved and cloisonné models are made by skilled artisans, and are perfect not only as watches, but also as collection pieces.
I don't think I've ever seen an unopened watch in this condition being sold at such a price, not only in Japan but also on overseas watch sales sites such as "chrono24."
Ref.5168G-010 Aquanaut Jumbo 18KWG
The jumbo-sized "Ref. 5168G-010" was announced as a new model for 2019. It features an innovative matte khaki green dial and a tropical band in the same khaki green color.
It features the same 42.2mm jumbo-sized case as the shiny blue dial "Ref. 5168G-001" released in 2017 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Aquanaut.
As I mentioned in my previous column, the Aquanaut is considered a more casual sports model among Patek Philippe watches , but it is also generally considered to be worn with a more elegant look. Personally, I think it would be very cool to wear something casual like shorts, jeans, and a T-shirt with the khaki green Aquanaut shining on your wrist. I think it's about time I bought one myself... (lol)
As a military lover, this model is right up my alley, and while it may or may not be listed on our website, we have actually already sold four of them, both second-hand and unused. If you come to our store, you'll have a good chance of finding it!
Ref.5960/1A-001 Annual Calendar Chronograph S/S
Lastly, there is the stainless steel version of the annual calendar chronograph "Ref. 5960," which was released in 2014. This model is also characterized by the fact that the chronograph hand can be operated and used as a center second hand.
The silver dial was produced from 2014 to 2017, and the black dial, which was released the following year in 2018, was discontinued after just one year.
The silver dial, which can also be seen as white, and the red hands make a striking impression, giving it a pop impression among Patek Philippe watches.
It comes with a stainless steel bracelet that fits comfortably on the wrist, and the price is still within an affordable range (around 4 million yen), so I personally think it will become an interesting watch in the future.
The warranty for this watch is dated October 2017. It was produced in a later period and is therefore a particularly recommended item.
summary
Today, we introduced the rare model "Perpetual Calendar Retrograde" that is hard to find, the very popular "Aquanaut" and the highly anticipated "Annual Calendar Chronograph". What did you think? Did you all want one?
To be honest, I'm the one writing this and I want it the most. (laughs)
From now on, I will continue to write about these models in my column whenever I find a model that I want to introduce or that I have a special attachment to. (*I will try to write about them while they are still on sale!)
In addition, Patek Philippe is a brand that I have a strong attachment to, and we are always actively purchasing them, so if you are thinking of selling, please feel free to contact us.
