Good evening everyone.
This time, we would like to introduce "that" rare and highly popular model that was released in 2014! This model is a special one that I have had a strong admiration for and have been particularly focused on since the founding of Commit, along with the "World Time Cloisonnée"! Please read to the end!!
"Ref.5204G-001"
"Perpetual Calendar Split Second Chronograph" 18KWG
In 2022, the Perpetual Calendar Split-Second Chronograph "Ref. 5204G-001" was released, featuring the first 18KWG (white gold) case for the "Ref. 5204."
This is the only Ref. 5204 still in existence, and it can be said to be a perfect model. The olive green sunburst dial with a black gradient that darkens towards the periphery is extremely beautiful, and has an appealing design that will captivate anyone who sees it.
While all previous models have featured alligator straps, the new "Ref. 5204" is the first to feature an original calfskin strap. The slightly glossy olive green calfskin strap gives the watch a "soft" finish, in a good way, and the hand-sewn white stitching adds a nice accent.
There is a small calendar window at the 12 o'clock position that displays the day of the week and month, a window that displays the leap year in numbers between the 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock positions, and a white and blue window that tells the day and night between the 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions. The moon phase at the 6 o'clock position is cut out at the bottom, and the layout and dial design of each are perfect.
The chronograph is operated in the same way as usual, with the pusher at 2 o'clock to start and stop the time and the pusher at 4 o'clock to reset the time, but the split-seconds is started and stopped using the pusher integrated with the crown at 3 o'clock. With a case diameter of 40mm and a thickness of 14.3mm, this large crown has a striking presence and creates a special feel.
The movement, which can be seen through the skeleton case back, is the "Cal. CH 29-535 PS Q," which was developed and manufactured entirely in-house. Each part is meticulously finished, showcasing Patek Philippe's tradition and high level of technical expertise.
The warranty is dated 2023. All accessories are included and the watch is in very good condition, almost like new. The leather pass case that holds the warranty is luxurious, and the included box is specially designed to store the additional closed back and setting pin for adjusting the calendar.
The selling price is 31,350,000 yen (tax included)
summary
What did you think?
The current domestic official retail price is 54,660,000 yen (tax included), so you can see how reasonable our prices are. Also, when I introduced the "Ref. 5204G-001" in my column exactly one year ago, the official retail price was 51,770,000 yen (tax included), so it's surprising that the price has risen by approximately 3,000,000 yen since then. Given the current state of affairs, if you've been looking for one, now might be your chance.
We will continue to introduce as many attractive and recommended models as possible, so please look forward to the next issue!
See you next time!
