The iconic model of A. Lange & Söhne is the Lange 1. This is the current model released in 2015, and is the most popular model of A. Lange & Söhne equipped with the new hand-wound movement "Cal.L121.1". The "outsize date" at the top of the dial has been brushed up from this model so that the date display changes instantly. The asymmetrical dial layout formed by the golden ratio unique to the Lange 1, and the combination of the 18KWG (white gold) case and silver dial give an elegant and mature impression, and can also be used in business situations without being unpleasant. Although the market has been fluctuating rapidly recently, the price in the secondary market has been relatively stable, so this is a recommended watch.
② [Patek Philippe] "Calatrava" "Ref. 5196G-001"

The Patek Philippe Calatrava, born in 1932, is widely known as a masterpiece that is said to be the most complete design in the history of wristwatches. Among the Calatrava models, the Ref. 5196, born in 2004 as the successor to the Ref. 3796, is a popular model with the number 96 in the reference (model number), commonly known as "Kunroku". The case material was available in 18KYG (yellow gold), 18KRG (rose gold), 18KWG (white gold), and PT (platinum), but this time we introduced the 18KWG (white gold) version, which has a very easy-to-use case color from the perspective of business use. Unfortunately, it was discontinued in 2022, but the sophisticated and dressy look condenses the charm of the Calatrava, making it a recommended model for those who are interested in Patek Philippe's dress models.
➂ [Audemars Piguet] "Royal Oak" "Ref.15450ST.OO.1256ST.01"

Audemars Piguet's iconic watch, the Royal Oak. The current men's model is available in three sizes: 41mm, 39mm, and 37mm. This is the previous generation 37mm size "Ref.15450ST" released at SIHH in 2012 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the birth of the Royal Oak. Equipped with the in-house movement "Cal.3120", the silver dial with a grand tapestry pattern gives a refreshing impression. The beauty of the Royal Oak, with a well-balanced dial and case size, stands out, and for Japanese people who find the 41mm Royal Oak too large, the slightly smaller 37mm is highly recommended as it fits well on the wrist. The dial variations of the "Ref.15450ST" are blue, gray, and silver, and no matter which color you choose, it is sure to be useful in business situations.
④ [Rolex][Rolex] "Submariner" "Ref. 5513"

Finally, we would like to introduce the "Ref. 5513" from the "Submariner", which is synonymous with diver's watches, and is a model that we would like to draw your attention to as an entry-level model of [vintage Rolex]. This is the long-selling model of the "Submariner" that was manufactured from around 1963 to around 1990, and the difference in specifications due to minor changes is a big attraction of this model. It is no exaggeration to say that this model led the evolution of diver's watches, with the "triplock crown" being changed to improve practicality and water resistance, and the "extension clasp" being adopted for the first time so that it can be worn over a diving suit. There are many variations, including the early mirror dial and the matte dial, and it is not only fun to find your favorite specifications, but also full of points that will stir the collector's heart. There are relatively many individuals in circulation now, and it is suitable as an entry-level model of [vintage Rolex], but there are some points to be careful about when purchasing. Of course, the condition is important, but the balance between consistency and price is also important. Be sure to purchase from a store that has a reliable and experienced appraiser who will explain things to you properly. If you are a first timer, you probably won't be able to tell the difference, so a good indicator is whether the store has a large selection of vintage Rolex models on display or for sale. In a good way, this faded look will become more familiar with age, so this is a watch I would definitely recommend in the long run. It would also be nice to look for one from your own birth year.
