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 Patek Philippe, the epitome of luxury watches! Please enjoy until the end.
5th place
Aquanaut Travel Time Advanced Research "Ref.5650G-001"
In fifth place is the Ref. 5650G-001, which was released in 2017, the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Aquanaut, in a limited edition of 500 pieces .
This is a watch that perfectly fulfills the mission given to Patek Philippe's president, Thierry Stern, by his father, Chairman Philippe Stern: "To create a watch with the same accuracy as a tourbillon without using one." Patek Philippe does not generally make openwork watches, so many people are sure to be drawn to the design at the 9 o'clock position on the dial. This special watch, which can be said to be one of a kind in terms of design, functionality, and rarity, has attracted attention and made it into the rankings.
4th place
Aquanaut "Ref.5167A-001"
In fourth place is the long-selling model "Aquanaut" (Ref. 5167A-001), which has been on sale since its introduction in 2007.
There are models with attractive designs and functions such as "Chronograph" and "Travel Time", but the three-hand model with only a date display is a timeless model that you will never tire of and can use for a long time due to its simple design. The moderate size of the case diameter of 40.8mm and the case thickness of 8.1mm make it easy to wear on the wrist, and it is easy to match with formal attire such as a suit, as well as casual styles for your off-days. The price in the secondary market is stable, and it is attracting a lot of attention as a watch with excellent asset value.
3rd place
Nautilus "Ref. 5711/1A-001"
In third 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, and even SS (stainless steel) models are traded at prices well over 10 million yen. The market seems to have calmed down compared to the high prices that rose at one time, 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.
2nd place
Aquanaut Extra Large "Ref.5167/1A-001"
In second place is the Aquanaut Extra Large "Ref. 5167/1A-001" with a stainless steel bracelet, which was released in 2008.
This model has a different bracelet specification from the 4th-placed "Ref. 5167A-001," but it has a more luxurious feel than the tropical band model and is easier to use in business situations. You can also purchase a tropical band separately, so it's a nice point that you won't get bored of using it. It seems that the price is gradually rising, so if you've been eyeing this model, consider getting it soon!
1st place
Nautilus Petite Complication "Ref.5712/1A-001"
Taking the honorable first 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. Although the price is not so easy to purchase , it has attracted attention because it is a relatively good deal compared to the premium price of the popular three-hand "Nautilus". It is an undeniable piece in terms of both investment value and practicality.
summary
What did you think?
As expected, the results showed that the Nautilus and Aquanaut were the strongest, but the models that made the list were blue and black, which are not too flashy and are elegant, and can be used both on and off the job . Patek Philippe watches are known as watches from above, and all of their models have a sense of luxury that sets them apart from others, so if you are interested, why not visit a store and see them for yourself?
We hope that this article will be helpful for your buying and selling. Please look forward to the next access ranking!
