Good evening everyone.
Before we know it, this year is almost over. It has been very cold recently, so please take good care of your health.
Thanks to you, we were able to sell a large number of Patek Philippe watches this year. The number is about 200! Thank you very much.
So, with only two columns left in 2021, I would like to conclude by presenting a ranking of Patek Philippe sales (10th to 6th place) .
Models that were widely sold = models that attracted a lot of attention
In the end, I hope you'll enjoy reading this.
Tenth place
"Annual Calendar" Chronograph 18KWG
"Ref.5960/01G-001"
The "Annual Calendar" chronograph "Ref. 5960/01G-001" was announced at Baselworld in 2017 and features an 18KWG (white gold) case and leather strap.
The combination of the matte navy dial and the elegant calf strap unique to Patek Philippe is reminiscent of the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time "Ref. 5524G-001". As I have mentioned several times, I think this is a watch with an outstanding design, with a matte navy dial, a white meter scale on the outer edge, and red chronograph and counter hands.
The market is rising, but it is still slow, so we would like to advise anyone considering purchasing to act quickly!
9th Place
"Aquanaut" SS
"Ref.5065/1A-001"
The "Ref. 5065/1A-001" was released in 1998 to replace the first-generation "Aquanaut" "Ref. 5060A," which lasted only a year.
This is called the "large size," but the actual case diameter is 38mm, which is a little small by today's standards. The dial has a clearly textured design, and like the rugged bracelet with its sharp edges, this is a rugged model that is full of masculinity, which is not typical of Patek Philippe in a good way.
Among the items sold was a special double-name model with [TIFFANY & Co.] engraved on the 9 o'clock side of the case. The popularity of the Aquanaut continues to grow, and there are fewer units in stock recently.
Eighth Place
"Aquanaut" 18KWG
"Ref.5168G-001"
The "Ref. 5168G-001" was released in 2017 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Aquanaut.
This is a 42.2mm "jumbo size" watch, slightly larger than the current extra large size "Ref. 5167" model. The black gradient blue dial and midnight blue "tropical band" give it a sophisticated and elegant look.
In the past few months, the market price has skyrocketed. Looking at the sales price of Commit Ginza, the difference between the price six months ago and the price one month ago is more than 2 million yen... This shows how popular and in demand it is.
Seventh Place
Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph SS
"Ref.5990/1A-001"
The Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph "Ref. 5990/1A-001" was released in 2014 and features a travel time and chronograph mechanism in a stainless steel case.
When I first saw this model, I thought it had a cool, stylish look that was not typical of the Nautilus in a good way. The chronograph, travel time, and the thickness of the case make it very impactful. Combined with its size, this model is very popular with people overseas.
This model is not widely available, but the market price has also risen significantly.
Sixth Place
"Nautilus" Petite Complication 18KRG
"Ref.5712R-001"
The "Ref. 5712R-001" was released in 2006 as a model commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus, and features an 18KRG (rose gold) case and alligator strap.
The combination of a black and brown dial and an 18KRG (rose gold) case is glamorous yet sophisticated, making it popular both domestically and internationally.
Once they arrive, they are sold out in a relatively short time. Until recently, it wasn't a very popular model, but the demand for the Nautilus this year is incredible.
summary
What did you think.
Other than the stainless steel models, which have seen a notable price rise, other models have also made the list. Also, a wide range of models, from relatively old to more recent models, have been ranked, which suggests that the popularity of Patek Philippe itself is on the rise.
In the next issue of Patek Theory, we will continue to introduce the ranking of Patek Philippe sales results . Please look forward to it and make your guesses as to which model will take the honorable first place!
see you!
