Good evening everyone.
In 2022, we have received a lot of extremely rare Patek Philippe models, and in some cases, we have received same-day purchase applications, which makes me very happy and pleasantly surprised as a seller. In particular, attention to luxury watches has been increasing recently, and many people are buying Nautilus and Aquanaut for speculative and investment purposes, but not only that, the market price of Patek Philippe in general has risen, and the reality is that more models are being sold than ever before.

The chronograph "Ref. 5070P-001" equipped with the Lemania-based movement "Cal. CH 27-70", which was posted on our website about a week ago, was also sold early, with several customers expressing interest in it.

Also, as mentioned at the beginning, the price rise of the Nautilus and Aquanaut has been remarkable, making it very difficult to grasp the actual market price and future price trends. However, it seems that the price and value of popular models such as the Ref. 5976/1G-001 introduced in the previous Patek Philippe article, and the Ref. 5168G-010 Aquanaut TIFFANY & Co. 18KWG that we will introduce this time, will not decrease in either price or value in the future.
So, although the introduction was a bit long, this time we will introduce the super popular model "Aquanaut TIFFANY & Co." "Ref. 5168G-010" 18KWG . Please enjoy until the end.
"Ref.5168G-010"
"Aquanaut TIFFANY & Co." 18KWG
The 42.2mm "Ref. 5168G-001" in 18KWG (white gold) was announced in 2017 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Aquanaut.

Two years later, in 2019, the "Ref. 5168G-010" was released with the same specifications in "khaki green," which exudes a sophisticated, mature look. Since its release, Commit Ginza (hereinafter referred to as our store) has handled several units, but is it because there are few units in stock at authorized retailers? Is it because it is popular and there are few units on the market? This is a model that we have not been able to handle recently.

This time, we have received an even rarer model with a Tiffany & Co. double name. Our store has sold the Tiffany & Co. double name "Ref. 5167A-001" and "Ref. 5167/1A-001," but this is the first time we've handled the "Ref. 5168G-010" double name, so I'm very excited. (laughs)
This watch has a matte khaki green finish, as opposed to the lustrous and elegant Ref. 5168G-001, giving it a rugged military feel. However, as you would expect from Patek Philippe, it never becomes too casual. If you can catch a glimpse of this Aquanaut from the sleeve of a gray suit or jacket, it will be a stylish piece for advanced fashionistas.
If you look closely, you will see the proof of the double name [TIFFANY & Co.] printed in white above the 6 o'clock position of the dial index. This modest-looking size is irresistible. It tickles the hearts of watch enthusiasts.

The 42.2mm case, known as the "jumbo" size, doesn't feel too large, and even when compared to the 40.8mm "extra large" size, it still has a great sense of elegance.
The movement "Cal.324 SC" seen through the skeleton back is simply beautiful. The thickness is kept to 8.25mm, and the wearing comfort is excellent. The 18KWG (white gold) folding buckle is a double-opening specification newly adopted from the "Aquanaut Chronograph" "Ref.5968A-001". In addition to the design, it is more convenient.
The warranty card also bears the stamp of the Tiffany & Co. store that sold the watch. The Tiffany & Co. double name is often priced at twice the price of the regular model for popular models such as the Nautilus and Aquanaut, but it is very important that the double name is printed on the dial as well as on the warranty card.
There are some minor scratches that appear to have been caused during storage, but it is in excellent condition and has not been polished. All accessories are included, and the condition of the pass case, booklets, box, etc. are also very good.
The selling price is 39,930,000 yen (tax included).
There are currently no units for sale in Japan, or even on a certain famous overseas website. Considering the popularity and selling price of the standard specification "Ref. 5168G-010", I think that the price is reasonable considering the rarity of the double name model with [TIFFANY & Co.]. Also, considering the future, it is a model that I am very excited about, so I recommend it.
summary
What did you think.
It's been a while since I've seen the Tiffany & Co. double name, but seeing it in person still makes me want to buy it. It's on full display and for sale in the store, so if you have time, I'd be happy if you could stop by.
From now on, we will continue to work hard every day to convey the charms of Patek Philippe to everyone, from standard models to extremely rare models! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us, even if they are small.
see you!
