Worn by UVERworld's "TAKUYA Infinity"
[Patek Philippe]
"Nautilus Chronograph"
"Ref.5980/1AR-001"

The first person we would like to introduce is the vocalist of the popular rock band "UVERworld" TAKUYA Infinity" .

TAKUYA is an all-rounder who is active in a six-piece rock band made up of childhood friends from Shiga Prefecture, and is not only the vocalist but also plays multiple instruments such as bass, guitar, drums, and piano. On stage, he captivates audiences with his energetic performances, and his recent live performance at Nissan Stadium, "Otoko Matsuri," attracted more than 140,000 fans over two days. The model worn by TAKUYA, who is enthusiastically supported by such men, is

"Nautilus Chronograph"
"Ref.5980/1AR-001"

The Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph Ref . 5980/1AR-001 is a combination model of SS (stainless steel) and 18KRG (rose gold) that has been manufactured since 2013.

This complication model uses 18KRG (rose gold) for the bezel, bracelet center links, indexes, and hands, and SS (stainless steel) for the case, combined with a blue gradient dial for a mature look. Its greatest feature is the dial, which shows different expressions such as "dark navy" and "lustrous, vibrant blue" depending on the amount of light. There are very few of these on the market, making them the pinnacle of combination models.

It really suits TAKUYA's "rock" style, peeking out from under his denim jacket! I couldn't help but be drawn to his extremely elegant appearance, which embodies "rock" and the Nautilus!

Worn by Kenji Yamauchi of Kamaitachi
[Patek Philippe]
"Nautilus"
"Ref.5711/1A-010"

The second person we would like to introduce is Yamauchi Kenji , a member of the comedy duo Kamaitachi, who has been gaining popularity at an unstoppable rate since winning "King of Conte 2017."

On his YouTube channel "Kamaitachi Channel," Yamauchi revealed that he has purchased an 18KWG (white gold) "Daytona" Ref. 116509 and is addicted to the charm of luxury watches. The model he recently posted on his Instagram was

"Nautilus"
"Ref.5711/1A-010"

In 2006, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus, the Ref. 5711/1A-001 was released with a stainless steel case, a black-blue dial, three hands (hour, minute, second), and the automatic movement Cal. 315 SC.

When it was later changed to "Ref.5711/1A-010" with the suffix 010, the dial color became more blue and glossy, and the bracelet links were changed from screws on both sides to pins that are removed by knocking them out. The movement "Cal.324 SC" is engraved with the PP (Patek Philippe) Seal, which has extremely high and unique strict certification standards that exceed the certification standards of the "Geneva Seal" created in 2009. Incidentally, the watches manufactured after 2019 are equipped with the new movement "Cal.26-330 SC", which has a hack function (second hand stop) and eliminates the time period during which the date cannot be changed. (※Production was later discontinued in 2021, much to everyone's regret.)

Yamauchi's love for watches is only getting more intense! He also owns the current "World Time" Ref. 5935A-001, but he started out with Rolex and then became obsessed with Patek Philippe... I can totally understand that!

Worn by actress Minami Tanaka
[Patek Philippe]
"Nautilus" Ladies
"Ref.7118/1A-011"

The third person we would like to introduce is a freelance announcer and actress, " Tanaka Minami "

Currently appearing in the serial drama "Barakamon" (Fuji TV), Minami Tanaka is attracting attention for her success in two consecutive serial dramas, following the April drama "Even if you don't do it". The model worn by Minami Tanaka, who is making a leap to become such a great actress, is

"Nautilus" Ladies
"Ref.7118/1A-011"

The ladies' model Patek Philippe "Nautilus" Ref. 7118/1A-011 features a case inspired by a ship's porthole and a rounded octagonal bezel .

The smoke grey dial color creates a casual yet elegant style. The case diameter of 35.2mm is large for a ladies' model, but the dial has a delicate wave embossed pattern, giving it a feminine look. The Cal.324 SC with date and center second is highly practical, and the luminous gold applied indexes and numbers, as well as the luminous hands, provide the best visibility.

In the previous column, we introduced Minami Tanaka, who wears the Gondolo, and her sense of choice in watches is truly impressive. This model is perfect for Minami Tanaka, who is also a popular actress!

Worn by former EXILE member Keiji Kuroki
[Patek Philippe]
"Aquanaut Chronograph"
"Ref.5968G-010"

The last one we will introduce is former EXILE member, "Kuroki Keiji "

Keiji Kuroki left LDH JAPAN last year and retired from the entertainment industry. He has now opened a complex offering botanical therapy, pilates and relaxation treatments, and is apparently flooded with fans. The model worn by Keiji Kuroki, who is just as popular as when he was still active, is

"Aquanaut Chronograph"
"Ref.5968G-010"

At the announcement of the new products for 2021, the Aquanaut "Ref. 5968G-001" was released in 18KWG (white gold), with a size of 42.2mm and a black gradient blue dial, along with the "Ref. 5968G-010" with a khaki green dial that exudes a sophisticated adult look.

The Ref. 5968G-010 has a rugged, military feel with a matte khaki green dial, contrasting with the elegant, glossy blue dial. Even when the Aquanaut peeks out from under a jacket sleeve, it feels sophisticated and sophisticated, and is a true Patek Philippe watch that never looks too casual. The 42.2mm case, known as the "jumbo" size, is 11.9mm thick, making a big impact, but the 18KWG (white gold) gives it a classy look.

Looking at the photos of Kuroki taken in Paris, she looks stylish and well-matched in a denim suit!!
