Whether you own a luxury watch or not, you have probably wondered at least once, "Which model is popular?" While everyone has their own motivations, such as "I want a popular classic model!" or "I want a model that no one else has!" , it is difficult to know which models are actually popular unless you get real-time information.
So this time, we will be revealing the top 5 Patek Philippe models handled by Commit Ginza (hereinafter referred to as our store) in the second half of 2024! Please enjoy reading the article while imagining the rankings together with us.
5th place
Nautilus Annual Calendar Moon Phase "Ref.5726A-001"
Coming in fifth place is the Nautilus Annual Calendar "Ref. 5726A-001," released in 2010, which features stainless steel, an alligator strap, and an annual calendar function.
The case is an impressive 11.3mm thick, but the material used is stainless steel, which makes it comfortable to wear. This is the only Nautilus model made of stainless steel and an alligator strap, and it is priced at a reasonable price compared to the premium price of the simple three-hand Nautilus, making it a watch that is currently attracting attention.
4th place
Aquanaut Extra Large "Ref.5167/1A-001"
Coming in fourth place is the Aquanaut "Ref. 5167/1A-001" with a stainless steel bracelet, which was added in 2008.
This model has a different bracelet specification from the "Ref. 5167A-001", but it has a more luxurious feel than the tropical band model and is easier to use in business situations. Compared to the period when prices were soaring, the market price seems to have stabilized somewhat while maintaining its asset value, so if you've been thinking about getting an Aquanaut, why not consider this one?
3rd place
Nautilus "Ref. 5711/1A-010"
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, 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.
2nd place
Aquanaut "Ref.5167A-001"
In second 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.
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?
The results showed that the Nautilus and Aquanaut were strong, but overall it seems that sporty watches were chosen. The colors are also elegant and not too flashy, and they can be worn both on and off the job, which may also be a reason for their popularity.
