hello everyone.

Following on from last time, I would like to talk about this year's new model, the Calatrava, which is synonymous with Patek Philippe , and introduce my favorite Patek Philippe model that has just arrived in our store.

[NEW][NEW] "Ref.4947/1A-001" Annual Calendar Moon Phase SS

* "Ref.4947/1A-001" Reference: PATEK.COM

The first thing I felt when I saw this model was surprise and surprise.

The reason is that when it comes to Patek Philippe models, reference numbers starting with 4 and 7 are generally considered to be ladies' models.

The 18KRG (rose gold) case "Ref. 4947R-001" and 18KWG (white gold) case "Ref. 4947G-010", which are still listed in the catalog and are in production, are clearly ladies' models, and I personally think it is nonsense for men to wear these models.

Although the reference number for this model starts with 4, I think that it can be worn by anyone, regardless of gender, including the design and size.

The dial is a beautiful blue that evokes the image of denim with a vertical and horizontal satin finish.

Another great feature is that the SS (stainless steel) case is lightweight and suitable for everyday use, and it comes with a new integrated polished bracelet that feels comfortable on the wrist.

This is a model that you'll want to wear easily in the coming season when your wrists will be more exposed.
I'd love to see the actual machine as well.

[New Arrival] "Ref.5960/01G-001" Annual Calendar Chronograph 18KWG

Finally, the model I have been waiting for has arrived, so I would like to introduce it to you.

This is the first model to feature an annual calendar with a flyback chronograph and an 18KWG (white gold) case. The dial color scheme is different, but by changing the color of the minute scale (white) and the dial (blue), it gives a sporty yet elegant impression.

The strap is made of calfskin, but it doesn't look too casual, which is something you'd only see in Patek Philippe . The use of guilloche-decorated push buttons, reminiscent of Patek Philippe 's antique and vintage styles, is a change not seen in the previous "Ref. 5960" series.

The movement "Cal. CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H", which features an annual calendar and a flyback chronograph, is exciting just to look at.

The warranty date is June 2020, so it is still within the manufacturer's warranty period. The condition is that it is an unused item that has never been worn. Of course, all accessories are included.

The selling price is 6,160,000 yen (tax included) .

The official domestic sales price is 7,887,000 yen (tax included), so I think this is a reasonable price in this condition.

summary

What did you think.

As expected, the new model is exciting!

Also, the "Ref. 5960/01G-001" Annual Calendar Chronograph 18KWG (white gold), which I mentioned in a previous column, is a watch that I really like. Looking at the watch closely, I was able to appreciate the good points of this watch once again, and at the same time, I felt a desire to own it. I think I will be quite passionate about customer service, so please be kind to me about that. (laughs)

It will probably be some time before the new models arrive, but we will continue to work hard every day to be able to introduce attractive Patek Philippe watches, including other models.

Also, if you are considering selling your Patek Philippe watch, please feel free to contact Commit.

see you!
