hello everyone.
The state of emergency was lifted in the Tokyo metropolitan area, covering one prefecture and three prefectures, effective today. However, this does not mean that we can suddenly take off our masks and go out, and it goes without saying that it will be a while before we can return to life as it was before the coronavirus pandemic. However, I feel a little more at ease now that we have reached a turning point.
Thanks to all of you, Commit Ginza has been receiving many visits and inquiries every day. We would like to express our gratitude for being able to continue operating safely even under these circumstances.
Now, following the discontinuation of the Nautilus 3-hand model made of stainless steel (SS), prices of other Nautilus models have also risen, but at the same time, the 18KRG (rose gold with leather strap) chronograph "Ref. 5980R-001" and the SS (stainless steel) Travel Time Chronograph "Ref. 5990/1A-001" have just arrived, so we would like to introduce them to you.
*We apologize if the item is already sold out.
"Ref.5980R-001" Nautilus Chronograph 18KRG
The first Nautilus chronograph model was the stainless steel 5980/1A-001, which was released in 2006 to mark the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus. The color scheme of the counter sub-dial used on this model was a novel and sporty combination of red and blue, which was unlike anything Patek Philippe had seen before.

The 18KRG (rose gold) x leather strap model "Ref. 5980R-001" introduced this time was released in 2010. *Current model
*Ref.5980R-001
At first glance, the leather strap may seem stiff and formal, but the dial design is the same as that of the SS (stainless steel) material, giving it a sporty look.
The movement it is equipped with, "cal. CH 28-520 C," is a chronograph movement that was released as the second in-house developed and manufactured movement, and was installed in the annual calendar "Ref. 5960P" in 2006. It has a flyback function that allows you to instantly reset and restart the chronograph hands.
The warranty is dated February 2013.
Although there are some scuffs and small scratches from use, all accessories are included and the price is reasonable compared to the same model currently being sold both domestically and overseas.
Sales price: ￥10,879,000-(tax included)
"Ref.5990/1A-001" Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph SS
The Nautilus lineup announced in 2006, the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus,
▶Three-hand model "Ref.5711"
▶Petite complication model "Ref.5712"
▶Chronograph model "Ref.5980"
was.
Then, in 2010, the "Ref. 5726" equipped with an annual calendar was added, and four years later in 2014, the Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph made of stainless steel that we will introduce this time was released.
*Ref.5990/1A-001
When I first saw the Nautilus chronograph, I was surprised by its appearance, but when this Travel Time Chronograph was released, it didn't look like any other Nautilus watch until now, and I think it has a cool and stylish look in a good way.
It's only natural that the chronograph also has a travel time mechanism, but when I first saw it, my impression was that the case was thick and big! (laughs)
I was also shocked to find that the part of the Nautilus that would touch the ear was actually the button for the travel time mechanism.
This watch did not come with a warranty when it arrived at our store, but one has already been archived.
The selling price is 10,879,000 yen (tax included), the same as the first "Ref. 5980R-001". Although it does not come with a warranty, all other accessories are included, so I think it is a very good price.
summary
What did you think.
Since rumors of its discontinuation spread, the price of the Nautilus has risen significantly regardless of the material it is made of, but the model we are introducing this time is still priced relatively affordable.
We will continue to monitor domestic and international trends and prices, including future price changes and trends, and do our best to procure the most popular Patek Philippe models possible.
We will continue to introduce attractive watches in this column, so please look forward to it.
see you!
