hello everyone.

Although there is nothing we can do about this, a state of emergency has been declared in Tokyo again. Although we have become accustomed to it, including myself, we must continue to take precautions against infection and do what we can as individuals.

Well, this time we have several Patek Philippe Nautilus models in stock, so we would like to introduce them to you. Please stay with us until the end.

Ref.5712/1A-001 "Nautilus" Petite Complication SS

In 2005, the year before the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus, the Ref. 3712/1A-001, which was equipped with a petite complication, was released, but production ended after just one year. The following year, in 2006, the Ref. 5712/1A was released.

There have been no changes to the basic look or the movement itself. However, the movement standard has changed from the Geneva Seal to the Patek Seal, and the bracelet links have changed from screw-type to pin-type, which are removed by knocking them out. Of the many Nautilus models, my personal favorite is the "Ref. 5712/1A-001" with this petite complication. Strictly speaking, I would like to have the "Ref. 3712/1A-001" (lol).

The reason is that the case diameter is the same as the simple and popular three-hand model "Ref. 5711/1A" at 40mm, but the case thickness has only changed by 0.22mm, despite the intricate mechanism of the Petit Complication. In particular, the exquisite arrangement of the small second at 4 o'clock, the date and moon phase at 6-8 o'clock, and the power reserve display at 10 o'clock is outstanding.

The movement "Cal.240 PS IRM C LU" that can be seen through the skeleton back is a petite complication mechanism incorporated into the ultra-thin automatic movement "Cal.240" that uses a micro-rotor.

The watch we are introducing this time is relatively new, with a warranty date of November 2020, and the bracelet has not been adjusted. It comes with all the accessories, and there is about a year and a half left on the manufacturer's warranty, so it is a watch we highly recommend.

The selling price is 13,585,000 yen (tax included)

I don't think you'll find an unused item of this year at this price, either in Japan or overseas. We are confident in the price and can recommend it.

Ref.5800/1A-001 "Nautilus" SS

The Ref. 5800/1A, which was manufactured and sold in the same year as the Ref. 3712/1A-001, was produced in 2005, the year before the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus. Due to its short production period and small number of units produced, it is one of the models whose price has risen to a level that could not have been predicted at the time.

Both models share a two-piece case structure, a see-through back cover, and a crown that is not screwed in. At first glance, it is difficult to distinguish it from the previous model, the Ref. 3800, but the changes are obvious: the indexes are wider and larger, and the hands are thicker and firmer.

The bracelet is also wider, giving it a firmer impression than the previous "Ref. 3800". Normally, you can see the "Cal. 330 SC AIG.1" through the skeleton back, but since this watch has not been used at all since it was overhauled by Patek Philippe , you will have to wait until you purchase it (lol).

It will likely fit well even on men with relatively slim wrists, and as the buckle opens like a folding screen, the bracelet can be adjusted in a balanced way, so I think it would look great on women too.

This watch was overhauled by the manufacturer in October 2020, and the case and bracelet were finished. When it arrived, the plastic packaging was just opened to check its condition. Of course, all accessories are included. It also comes with 1.5 links for fine adjustment, which is another nice feature.

The selling price is 10,989,000 yen (tax included).

There are almost no watches for sale in Japan at the moment, and the prices on overseas websites are quite high. This time, we are offering this watch at a reasonable price, so we can recommend it to anyone looking for one.

Ref.5711G-001 "Nautilus" 18KWG

This is a Nautilus with a leather strap that was released in 2007, which is rare these days. The case material was 18KYG (yellow gold) with a white dial, 18KRG (rose gold) with a brown dial, and 18KWG (white gold) with a gray dial. The model we are introducing this time is an 18KWG (white gold) case model, which is also an easy-to-use color. The gray dial, which is the same color as the case, is calm and would look good with a suit.

The skeleton back case allows you to see the movement "Cal.324 SC AIG.1". The sturdy 18KWG (white gold) folding buckle has a luxurious feel and presence.

There are light scratches and small marks, and it appears that it has been polished in the past, but the case and bezel have sharp edges, making it a very impressive watch.

The warranty is dated May 2008, and all the booklets and accessories are in good condition. I think these points are important when thinking about the future.

The selling price is 7,777,000 yen (tax included).

This is also a watch with a good balance of age, condition, and price, and is recommended for those looking for such a watch.

summary

That's all. What do you think?
