Today we will be sending you the latest 2022 edition of mechanical watches: “ Top 5 recommended models for people in their 50s.”
In their 50s, men reach maturity, not only as people but also as people with a higher social status. I think many men's charm as men is blossoming more and more. In their 50s, they are a generation that is looked upon and measured by those around them for their generosity, composure, and confidence, and the wristwatch they wear is one such barometer.
This time, we would like to introduce five carefully selected recommended models for people in their 50s! Please enjoy until the end.
① [Rolex ] "Day Date" "Ref. 18039"

The Day-Date was born in 1956 as the top collection of Rolex. This model is made of 18KWG (white gold), which was manufactured from the late 1970s to the late 1980s. The Day-Date 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. In addition to the standard colors such as silver and black, there are also models with different patterns even if they are made of the same material, such as turquoise (natural stone), meteorite, shell, ammonite, and wood dial (natural wood), so you can enjoy looking for a unique individual. Dials of endangered species such as coral, which cannot be manufactured today, are rising in market prices every year due to their rarity. Also, from the 1970s to the 1980s, Stella dials with colorful color variations were released for the Middle East, and the Day-Date we are introducing this time is one of those Stella dials. Due to its individuality and flashiness, it was not very popular at the time, but it is now difficult to obtain and has become an auction piece. The charm of the dial, which can be said to be one of a kind, is different from the current model, and many people choose the Day-Date as an option for [vintage Rolex]. It is a recommended watch that can casually create the image of a mature man, and it is not only an asset but also a great status, so why not decorate your wrist with your favorite dial?
② [Rolex] "Daytona" "Ref. 6265"

The Ref. 6265 is the third generation of the Daytona, which was released around 1971. It is a hand-wound Daytona that any Rolex enthusiast would dream of owning. The push buttons are screwed down, and the water resistance has been upgraded from 30m to 50m. It is equipped with the Cal. 727, which is said to be the perfect hand-wound chronograph movement based on the Valjoux Cal. 72. The 37mm case may look delicate, but its appearance gives it a taste and atmosphere that is not found in its successor models. The bezel and dial have undergone minor changes over the years, but the DAYTONA inscription, commonly known as the "big logo," which is characterized by a slightly larger font printed on the dial, is particularly popular and has a high reputation in the secondary market. This is a vintage model where the market price fluctuates greatly depending on the integrity of the parts, the luminous material, and the condition of the case and bracelet, so if you are interested, please consult with our experienced appraisers. The hand-wound "Daytona" is a model that was born in the same generation as people in their 50s. It is now becoming an auction piece, but there may be no better watch to use as a "watch to pass down to your children."
➂ [A. Lange & Söhne] "Saxonia Automatic" "Ref. 380.027"

The Saxonia Automatic is named after the state of Saxony, the hometown of the founder Adolf Lange and known in Germany as a pioneer of technological development. It was released as an automatic model in 2011 and was renewed in 2015, eliminating the circles and dots on the indexes and changing the design to further highlight the simplicity that is a characteristic of the Saxonia. The small second hand is placed at the 6 o'clock position, and the combination of an 18KWG (white gold) case and a silver dial gives an elegant impression. The case size is 38.5mm and the case thickness is 7.8mm, which is surprisingly thin, so it is designed to fit comfortably on the wrist, and you can enjoy the beautifully engraved movement through the see-through back. As an experienced person in their 50s, why not choose a beautiful model like this that is simple yet has a particular attention to detail and design?
④ [Patek Philippe] "Annual Calendar" "Ref. 4947/1A-001"

Next, we will introduce the new 2021 model "Annual Calendar" "Ref. 4947/1A-001". At Patek Philippe, model numbers starting with 4 and 7 correspond to ladies' models, but this is a SS (stainless steel) model with a 38mm round case with a polished finish, and is a model that can be worn by men without any problems, including the size. Among the many leather straps used by Patek Philippe, the 5-link bracelet is recommended for its ease of use during the sweaty season. The dial has a beautiful finish in an elegant midnight blue with a vertical and horizontal satin finish (Shandong silk finish). In addition, the automatic movement "Cal. 324 S QA LU", which is patented by Patek Philippe, is a user-friendly model that only requires date adjustment once a year, and the beautiful movement can be viewed from the see-through back. Recently, more and more people are choosing slightly smaller case sizes, and the Nautilus and Aquanaut have great designs and are a great asset, but for those in their 50s who have experienced the good and the bad, why not try a slightly different model from the Patek Philippe range?
5. [Patek Philippe] "Calatrava" "Ref. 6119G-001"

The last one we will introduce is the Calatrava Ref.6119G-001, which has been upgraded to a 39mm case diameter while drawing on the design of the Ref.5119. The applied gold applied indexes, gold dolphin hands, and satin-finished gray dial give it a luxurious feel. Following the flow of the original Calatrava Ref.96, the lugs are integrated into the middle case, flowing smoothly from the case, making this a highly refined watch that incorporates the best parts of the watch that have been passed down to date in a modern way. By eliminating all unnecessary elements, it is not only simple and beautiful, but also carefully crafted without compromise, which is why it is said to be the ultimate dress watch. This is a perfect model for people in their 50s with a sense of style.
