Good evening everyone.
This time, we will introduce some of the most recommended split-second models! Please read to the end!
"Ref.5372P-010"
"Perpetual Calendar Single Push Button Split Second Chronograph" PT
In 2017, about 20 years after the birth of the Ref. 5004, a perpetual calendar chronograph equipped with a split-seconds function, the Ref. 5372P-010, a perpetual calendar single push-button split-seconds chronograph, was announced at Baselworld.
This model, which features a single push button at the 2 o'clock position to start/reset the chronograph, was released alongside the "Ref. 5372P-001" with a blue sunburst dial and was produced until 2021. Equipped with a "perpetual calendar" mechanism, which could be described as an "ultra-complex" mechanism, and a "split-seconds chronograph" mechanism with a single push button, it is known as a rare model that is rarely seen on the market.
The sapphire crystal skeleton back allows you to see the "Cal. CHR 27-525 PS Q" housed in a 38.3mm case. It is said to be the thinnest movement ever to feature a perpetual calendar split-seconds. It's a beautiful model that exudes a modern yet somewhat classical atmosphere.
The protective sticker has been removed, but the item has never been worn and is in excellent condition with all accessories untouched.
The selling price is 54,780,000 yen (tax included)
Although it is rare to see it at overseas auctions, it is a model that is extremely rare on the market, and we believe that it will be even rarer to find one in such excellent condition in the future, so if you have been looking for one, don't miss out!
"Ref.5370P-011"
"Split-Second Chronograph" PT
The Split-Second Chronograph "Ref. 5370P-011" was released in 2020 and features a beautiful "Grand Feu enamel" blue dial.
With its vibrant and modern design, it is no exaggeration to say that this is one of Patek Philippe's most representative models today.
Incidentally, the name of this dial, "Grand Feu," means "great flame," and refers to the technique of repeatedly firing the dial at a high temperature of approximately 800-1000 degrees Celsius to create a strong enamel surface with a beautiful glass film. Producing a dial that meets the required standards is considered an extremely difficult task even for experienced craftsmen, and one cannot help but feel the high level of Patek Philippe's technical expertise.
The case diameter is 41mm, and its shape is reminiscent of the historic model "Ref. 1436." However, new design elements, such as the satin-finished recessed area in the center of the case side, have been incorporated, and the watch has evolved at the same time.
The hand-wound movement "Cal. CHR 29-535 PS," which can be viewed through the skeleton case back, is a complex mechanism that not only features a split-second function but also the proprietary Gyromax balance, making it a movement specialized for "split-seconds." This three-dimensional movement, consisting of a total of 312 parts, is artistically beautiful and intricately crafted to the point that you will never tire of looking at it.
The warranty is dated 2021. While there are some inconspicuous scuffs and minor scratches due to use, the unpolished case and buckle give this watch a solid impression. It also comes with all the accessories and is priced very reasonably, making it a particularly good choice for anyone looking for one.
The selling price is 26,950,000 yen (tax included)
This model will be discontinued in February 2025, and the only current model is the "Ref. 5370R-001" with an 18KRG (rose gold) case. The manufacturer's suggested retail price is 45,710,000 yen (tax included), so you can see how good the current price is.
"Ref.5204R-011"
"Perpetual Calendar Split Second Chronograph" 18KRG
The new "Perpetual Calendar Split-Second Chronograph" "Ref. 5204R-011" is a new model released in the fall of 2021 and is the first "Ref. 5204" to feature a dial other than black or silver.
The combination of the slate gray soleil dial, the same color strap, and the warm 18KRG (rose gold) case creates a stylish and noble impression.
This model has a 40mm case and a crown with a split button that makes a big impact. The lugs of the previous model, the Ref. 5004, appear thicker in relation to the case diameter, but the shape is similar, with the latter being more refined and sharp.
The movement, which can be seen through the skeleton case back, is the "Cal. CH 29-535 PS Q," which was developed and manufactured entirely in-house. Each part is meticulously finished, demonstrating Patek Philippe's high level of technical expertise.
The warranty date is 2022. Although there are some minor scuffs due to very little wear, the watch is in excellent condition with almost no signs of wear, and all accessories are included and untouched. The leather pass case that holds the warranty documents is also luxurious, and the additional closed back and setting pin for adjusting the calendar are both unused.
The selling price is 31,680,000 yen (tax included)
It was announced as a new model in the fall of 2021, but the production period was short and production has already ended. The only current model is "Ref. 5204G-001," but considering the manufacturer's suggested retail price of 54,660,000 yen (tax included), you can see how good the selling price is.
