hello everyone.
Today, we would like to introduce to you the second Committed watch, the "extraordinary" Calatrava "Ref. 5298P-012," and the current model with a beautiful blue dial that was newly announced in 2016.
This time, we will be introducing some wonderful Patek Philippe watches, so please enjoy until the end.
"Ref.5298P-012" Calatrava Platinum
This is a simple yet gorgeous Calatrava with a platinum case and baguette-cut diamonds ( hereinafter referred to as baguette diamonds ) on the bezel and buckle.
It was released in 2013 and discontinued in 2017, making it a rare model that only lasted for four short years. Commit Ginza has sold it in the past, but it was a special model with 22 baguette diamonds set into the folding buckle.
The item we have just received comes with a warranty, has barely been worn, and is in very good condition, making it a recommended item.
The bezel is set with 38 gorgeous baguette diamonds of approximately 3.37 carats, which enhance the glossy dial and make it very sexy. *A total of four baguette diamonds are set at the 12, 6, and 9 o'clock positions on the dial index, and eight brilliant-cut diamonds are set on the other indexes.
Of course, there is a diamond set at the 6 o'clock position on the case, which makes it immediately clear that the Platinum case is different.
The case is simple yet streamlined, inherited from the Ref. 96. Furthermore, the lugs, which are integrated with the case and feature flowing curves, are simply beautiful.
There are some scratches and small marks from use, but it has never been polished and is in good condition.
The "Cal.324 SC" seen through the skeleton case back is a beautiful in-house automatic movement made by Patek Philippe , with a rotor made of 21KYG (yellow gold). Winding efficiency and stability have been further improved.
The warranty is dated October 2014.
The alligator strap with platinum pin buckle, set with six baguette diamonds of approximately 0.30 carats, has also never been worn and is in good condition.
All booklets are included, and the box is in good condition, so I highly recommend it.
The selling price is 8,789,000 yen (tax included)
The domestic suggested retail price at the time of sale was 12,914,000 yen (tax included), so I think this is a great deal.
"Ref.5327G-001" Perpetual Calendar 18KWG
The current model, Ref. 5327G-001, was released in 2016 as the successor to the perpetual calendar Ref. 5140. The case diameter has increased from 37.2mm to 39mm, and the thickness has also increased from 8.8mm to 9.71mm, giving it a more modern size.
This is the first time I've handled the "Ref. 5327", but the impression I get from it is that it looks cool. The members of Commit have also said the same thing, so I'm sure it's a good buy. (laughs)
The beautifully colored blue sunburst dial, with its striking applied Breguet numerals, and the combination of the thick, sturdy leaf hands really catches your eye.
Also, when viewed from the side of the case, you can see that there is a hollow from the lugs to the center of the case just before the crown. I think that the fact that this case design was incorporated by increasing the case thickness by just 1mm is a testament to Patek Philippe 's skilled craftsmanship.
The ultra-thin automatic winding perpetual calendar movement "Cal. 240 Q", which can be seen through the skeleton back, was born together with the "Ref. 3940" that appeared in 1985, and is a reliable and stable movement that has been used for a long time up to the present day.
Although there are some scuffs and small scratches due to use, this alligator belt has barely been worn and can still be used.
Of course, all accessories are included, and the warranty is dated December 2020. The fact that there is still about a year and a half left on the manufacturer's warranty is a plus point.
This model is rarely seen on the second-hand market and is extremely popular among domestic authorized dealers.
The selling price is 8,250,000 yen (tax included)
The official domestic sales price is 11,143,000 yen (tax included), so considering the year and condition, I think this is also a very good deal.
