Nowadays, purchasing products online has become commonplace. Luxury watches are no exception. At our store, many customers search for information published on our website (hereafter referred to as HP) before coming to the store, and many customers purchase directly online. In fact, products with a high number of hits are almost always sold immediately. For this reason, the number of HP hits is an important indicator for measuring the attention and popularity of a product in the market.

Therefore, we would like to introduce the top 5 most accessed products for the past six months by brand in multiple posts. We hope that you will pay attention to this ranking and use it as an insight to identify models with high actual demand.

This time, we will focus on and introduce models from Patek Philippe, the synonymous brand of luxury watches! Please enjoy until the end.

5th place

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

In fifth place is the Nautilus Petite Complication "Ref. 5712/1A-001," which was released in 2006 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus.

There have been no changes to the design or movement itself from the previous model "Ref.3712/1A-001", but the movement standard has changed from "Geneva Seal" to "Patek Seal", and the bracelet links have changed from "screw-type" to "pin-type" that is removed by knocking. Following the popular three-hand "Nautilus", it has been discontinued, and the market price in secondary distribution has gradually risen, so if you are interested, we recommend that you get your hands on it as soon as possible.

4th place

Aquanaut "Ref.5168G-001"

Coming in fourth place is the Ref. 5168G-001, which was released in 2017 in a jumbo size of 42.2mm to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Aquanaut.

The combination of a black gradient blue dial and a tropical band made of the same color, midnight blue, gives this watch a sporty yet elegant impression. The movement is the Patek Philippe Seal-certified "Cal.324SC", boasting unquestionable functionality. In addition, from around 2022, a "folding clasp" and a "new movement, Cal.26-330 SC", have been adopted, and not only have the push buttons on both sides made it easier to put on and take off, but the addition of a hack function (stop second) and the elimination of the prohibited time period for changing the date have improved convenience. This luxury sports watch is a representative of the luxury watch world, boasting an easy-to-use design regardless of whether it is on or off, as well as outstanding functionality and practicality.

3rd place

Aquanaut Travel Time "Ref.5164A-001"

Coming in third place is the Aquanaut Travel Time "Ref. 5164A-001" with a stainless steel case, which was released in 2011 .

Equipped with the movement "Cal.324 SC FUS" with a "travel time function", this watch can display two time zones simultaneously, making it especially convenient for people traveling abroad. The combination of an impressive 40.8mm case diameter x 10.2mm case thickness and a black embossed dial may not seem assertive at first glance, but when worn, it has an outstanding presence. The sporty atmosphere and simple coloring make it suitable for both work and play, which is why it is so popular.

2nd place

Nautilus "Ref. 5711/1A-010"

In second place is the Nautilus Ref. 5711/1A-010, which was extremely popular since its release around 2006 but was sadly discontinued in 2021.

There are many models on the market with attractive functions and designs, such as "Petit Complications", "Chronographs", and "Travel Time", but the simplicity of the three-hand type is extremely popular, as it can be used without getting bored, just like the "Aquanaut" introduced earlier, and even though it is a stainless steel model, it is traded at a price well over 10 million yen. The market price seems to have calmed down compared to the high prices it once saw, but since it has already been discontinued, the number of good models and older models on the market is decreasing. If you have been thinking that you would like to own one someday, we recommend that you purchase one soon.

1st place

Cubitas "Ref.5821/1A-001"

Taking the honorable first place is Patek Philippe's new collection line "Cubites" "Ref. 5821/1A-001," which has attracted the most attention in 2024 and received both positive and negative reviews.

This is the first new collection since the "Twenty-4" in 1999, and its biggest feature is the eye-catching 45mm square case. The case, which Thierry Stern is said to have paid particular attention to, is only 8.3mm thick, and the size of the case diameter is not noticeable. The movement is the "Cal.26-330 SC" with a stop-second function, and its beautiful finish can be appreciated from the case back. Currently, there are three models in the "Cubitus" lineup, but we hope to see a variety of dial colors. This is a noteworthy model that has a sporty impression and is also elegant .

summary

What did you think?

As expected, the Nautilus and Aquanaut were the strongest, but the newly announced collection Cubitas by Patek Philippe took the top spot. It attracted attention as a model to replace the Nautilus. However, in the secondary market, the Nautilus and Aquanaut still have overwhelming strength, and perhaps due to the impact of their discontinuation, prices seem to have risen overall. The number of discontinued models will continue to decrease in the future, so if you have a hunch, we recommend that you get your hands on one as soon as possible.

We hope this article will be helpful for your buying and selling. Please look forward to the next access ranking!
