WATCH DETAILS

[ Patek Philippe Nautilus Petite Complication' "Ref. 5712/1A-001 "
][ Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph" "Ref. 5968A-001"

The watch that YN purchased was the Patek Philippe Nautilus Petite Complication Ref. 5712/1A-001, a long-selling model released in 2006 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the watch's birth.

Equipped with the "Cal.240 PS IRM C LU" movement, which was developed based on the company's representative ultra-thin movement "Cal.240", and equipped with a power reserve, moon phase, and pointer date, this watch has the same case diameter of 40mm (10-4 o'clock direction) as the three-hand "Ref.5711", and the case thickness is only 0.22mm thicker at 8.52mm, making it very comfortable to wear and well-balanced on the wrist. The sub-dials, which are perfectly balanced on the blue gradient dial, are a masterpiece that combines design and practicality at a high level.

The other watch chosen by YN was the Aquanaut's first chronograph model, the Ref. 5968A, which was announced at Baselworld in 2018.

This active and sporty watch features a black embossed pattern dial, bright orange chronograph hands and minute scale, and a tropical rubber strap in the same color. The case diameter is 42.2mm, the same jumbo size as the white gold model "Ref. 5168G," giving it a striking finish.

STAFF COMMENTS

Thank you very much, YN, for visiting our store and purchasing two bottles at the same time.

All of our staff were surprised and honored. What's more, the watch that she chose was the two most iconic Patek Philippe models, the Aquanaut and the Nautilus. I was so excited when I had her wear them on both of her wrists for the commemorative photo.

I was also very impressed by the stories from YN's childhood and the hungry spirit that was cultivated from those stories. I realized that her own experiences are connected to her current dignity and aesthetic sense.

We sincerely hope that the two pieces you have selected will continue to shine for a long time, not only for you, but also as a wonderful gift for your child in the future.

If you come to Tokyo again, please feel free to stop by Commit Ginza. We are looking forward to hearing about the Premier League! We look forward to your continued support in the future.

WATCH DETAILS

][Rolex][Rolex][Rolex] Explorer II "Ref. 16550"

The item that Mr. Shieda purchased was, The rich ivory dial of the Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16550 catches the eye.

The Ref. 16550, which appeared around 1984 as the successor to the Explorer II Ref. 1655, which appeared in 1971, has several variations in the color of the dial. It was produced for a short period of about five years, and the number of units produced was relatively small, so it is still a model shrouded in mystery.

The dial is available in three colors: black, white, and ivory, with the ivory dial being said to be the rarest.

STAFF COMMENTS

Thank you very much for visiting us and purchasing from us.

Purchased The ultra-rich ivory dial of the "Ref. 16550" is simply stunning. It is rare to come across an ivory dial with such a deep color and depth of flavor, making this a watch that will leave a strong impression even on those with a discerning eye.
I was truly impressed by how Shieda-sama carried it all so naturally and with such refined style.

As the owner of the popular Kagoshima select shop "khaki," her attention to detail in styling and bracelet selection shines through, and her sense of style is truly exemplary when it comes to wearing a vintage watch.

We have heard about other models you are interested in, so we hope to be able to show you more at a suitable time. We understand that you will be in Tokyo for exhibitions and other events, so we hope you will feel free to stop by when you are in Ginza.

Once again, thank you very much for this opportunity. I look forward to your continued support.
