Today we will be sending you the latest 2024 edition of mechanical watches: “ Top 5 recommended models for people in their 50s.”
In their 50s, men reach the peak of their maturity, not only as people but also in their social status. For many men, their masculinity blossoms even more, and the watch they wear can be used as a barometer of their generosity and leisure.
So this time, we would like to introduce 5 carefully selected recommended models for people in their 50s! Please enjoy until the end.
① [Rolex ] "Day Date" "Ref. 118206"

The Day-Date was born in 1956 as Rolex's highest-end collection.
It is available only in rare materials such as gold and platinum, and is equipped with a day of the week display and a special president bracelet that are not available in other models, making it a special model among the many Rolex models. The dials come in standard colors such as silver and black, as well as turquoise (natural stone), meteorite, shell, ammonite (fossil), wood dials (natural wood), and many other dials with different patterns, even if they are made of the same material, so you can have fun searching for a one-of-a-kind piece.
The ice blue dial we are introducing this time is a dial color that is only used for PT (platinum) watches, as mentioned above, and its special feeling is one of the charms that other dials do not have. As people get older, many people choose the "Day Date" instead of a sports model. This is a recommended watch that can subtly create an adult male look, and it is an excellent watch that not only has asset value but also status.
② [Rolex] "Daytona" "Ref. 116519"

The Rolex Daytona is one of the most famous wristwatches and is described as the king of chronographs.
This model, which features a unique meteorite dial, was released in 2003. However, with the release of the new model in 2023, the meteorite dial used in the successor model has been discontinued, so I think this dial will attract even more attention in the future. Because it is made of natural stone, each one has a different look, and the red accent color used for the "DAYTONA" inscription and hands, as well as the Roman indexes (the meteorite dial of the successor model has a black sub-dial color and bar index specifications), are also the charms of the meteorite dial, which is unique to this generation.
The price is rising every year and the number of watches in circulation is decreasing, so you should definitely get one while you can. By choosing the Roman index and alligator strap design, you can show the leisure and sense of style of people in their 50s.
➂ [A. Lange & Söhne] "1815" "Ref. 206.025"

The collection name "1815" is the birth year of the company's founder, Adolf Lange.
This model features a platinum case, a silver dial with classical Arabic numerals and railroad minutes, and beautiful blued steel hands. The minimalist design with only hour and minute hands and a small second hand is unique to A. Lange & Söhne.
In addition, the beautifully finished German silver in-house hand-wound movement "Cal. L941.1" can be viewed from the case back. As an experienced man in his 50s, why not choose a beautiful model like this, which is simple yet has a particular attention to detail and design?
④ [Patek Philippe] "Perpetual Calendar" "Ref. 5140G-001"

Next, we would like to introduce the Perpetual Calendar "Ref. 5140", which was produced from 2006 to 2016.
Born as a successor to the long-selling model "Ref. 3940" that was manufactured for about 20 years until 2006, this model has a case diameter of 37.2 mm, which is about 1.2 mm larger than the previous 36 mm, and has a better overall appearance. The dial design has longer bar indexes and larger numbers and letters on the sub-dial, which greatly improves visibility. The movement that can be viewed through the see-through back is the "Cal. 240 Q", which has been in active use since it was adopted about 40 years ago. The case thickness is also kept to 9 mm, so it fits well on the wrist and is a watch that we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a refined and elegant watch.
5. [Patek Philippe] "Calatrava" "Ref. 3796G"

The last watch we would like to introduce is the Calatrava Ref. 3796, which has a 30.5mm case diameter and was produced from around 1982 to 2000, and is based on the design of the Ref. 96.
The combination of applied gold applied indexes, gold dolphin hands, and ivory dial creates a unique atmosphere in this popular watch. Following the flow of the original "Ref.96" of "Calatrava", the lugs are integrated into the middle case, flowing smoothly from the case, making this a highly refined model that incorporates the best parts of the past in a modern way.
The "Ref. 3796" itself has been declining year by year on the market, and the overall market value has risen, so we recommend that you grab it early. Although cases are becoming larger these days, this model is perfect for people in their 50s, as it has a slightly smaller case diameter and a more tasteful feel.
