WATCH DETAILS

PATEK PHILIPPE ANNUAL CALENDAR MOON PHASES ][Ref. 5036/1J-001 】

The item purchased by M was: The Ref. 5036/1J-001, which was released in 1998, is the successor to the Ref. 5035, the world's first watch to feature an annual calendar mechanism.

The previous model, Ref. 5035, which was released in 1996, has a history of winning the Watch of the Year award in the same year, but this model has been changed from an alligator strap to a bracelet, and the dial layout has been boldly changed. Improvements have been made without resting on the laurels of the previous model, such as a power reserve display at 12 o'clock and a moon phase and brand name at 6 o'clock. This is an attractive watch that is packed with the best of Patek Philippe's technical and design capabilities, with a slightly smaller 37mm case and a perfectly laid out annual calendar mechanism.

STAFF COMMENTS

Thank you very much for your purchase, Mr. M.
This was his first time purchasing a Patek Philippe, and his sense of style in choosing a solid gold annual calendar as his first watch is truly impressive. It really suited Mr. M's outfit and was just so cool! The three of us, including his friend, all said the word "cool" many times and we all laughed and had a really fun time together! We look forward to seeing you all again soon.

WATCH DETAILS

ROLEX DAYTONA [ Ref.16520 ]

The item purchased by OH was, One of the most popular semi-vintage models is the Rolex Daytona Ref. 16520 with a black dial.

This model is equipped with the movement "Cal. 4030" based on Zenith's "El Primero", and even now, more than 30 years after its release, it still has a strong following. The dial comes in two colors: black, which gives a bold impression, and white, which gives a sophisticated impression. Another feature of this model is that the crystal has been changed to sapphire crystal. This particular piece is a masterpiece that appears to be a non-polished U-number with well-burned tritium.

STAFF COMMENTS

OH, thank you for your purchase.
We are very happy to hear that you came to see the Daytona El Primero and were initially looking for a white dial, but among the various suggestions, you fell in love with the non-polished black model, which is a high-quality example, and finally decided to purchase it. This is your first time purchasing a semi-vintage watch, but we think you will become more and more addicted to the charm of vintage watches from now on! Also, since you have owned previous Daytonas up until now, we are very excited to see whether you will choose a 4-digit vintage hand-wound watch or the white dial 16520 that you have always had your eye on (laughs). Please feel free to stop by again when you come to Tokyo. Once again, thank you very much for your time!

The bezel of this model has been changed to Cerachrom, which is highly resistant to corrosion and scratches, giving it a more stylish design. Even after the release of its successor, the Ref. 126500LN, this cool watch continues to be highly popular.

STAFF COMMENTS

Thank you very much for your purchase, Mr. G.
Last year, you wanted a Daytona in 18KERG (Everose Gold), but it sold at the last minute, so you had to postpone the purchase. However, this time, we were fortunate to have you choose the 116500LN, and we are very happy. Although you had wanted a Daytona for a while, we think you felt that the SS (stainless steel) model was more versatile, considering that you would wear it at work. I am sure that you made a great choice this time. Furthermore, we were very happy that you saw the notice about our new arrivals, and couldn't wait any longer to come to our store first thing in the morning from Yamanashi. The black dial links with your fashion, and the all-black style is very cool! Your wrist looks great too!
