Considering the previous year, our AAAReplica team has concluded that the most attractive Patek Philippe replica watches include the Aquanaut and the Nautilus 5711. Our team had recently had the luck to receive a new tranche of great clones from our factory. And this article is going to break them down so that our potential customers know what to expect in case they decide to own one. After all, the Xmas holidays are coming; who knows, maybe one of them will become someone’s Christmas gift.
The main focus will represent the Patek Philippe Nautilus, which I personally adore. I’m not trying to influence anyone’s opinion out there, but I must say that Patek is perhaps my favorite watch brand. I can’t help falling in love with them again and again. And what is not to love out there? Every watch amazes with an exquisite design like no other, and let’s face it, every piece has something special in it. But, leaving romanticism aside, let’s talk objectively.
Patek Philippe Nautilus replica review
To begin with, I want to let you know that my focus is particularly on the Nautilus 5712 moon phase. The imitation comes in a rose gold version, complemented by a brown leather strap, forming a unique chromatic harmony. I was pleased to know that the factory we are partnering with had been planning the release of this model some months ago. And we finally get it and I really like what I see. In the beginning, I was a little reticent when I heard in passing about the rose gold version. I thought that stainless steel was the best material to manufacture this watch, as it combined so well with the design concept.
Well, it seems I was completely wrong because the rose gold looks phenomenal. If you take a stainless steel and a rose gold version in your hand, you will notice that they look absolutely different. Or, at least, they convey a different charisma, even though they share the same design. Rose gold is the epitome of luxury, I would dare to say. It is by no means overpowered; on the contrary, it brings a sort of lean and sophisticated luxury that is lacking in the steel version.
Specific particularities
This model comes in 316 stainless steel, which, in contrast to many myths on forums and different Internet articles, is a pretty decent material. The steel is then plated with rose gold. By the way, the manufacturer let us know that customers can opt for a double rose gold coating if they please. I inspected the watch under different lights and angles, and I like how the basic coating looks. It is uniform and homogenous, and I would probably refuse to add an additional layer. As it looks pretty steady and well-applied.
The next nice-looking design element is the watch dial. I would expect every color you want, but not…gray. Yes, the dial is gray and I bet you didn’t know that it can couple so well with the brown strap and the rose gold case. Moreover, it comes with a kind of asymmetry on its face, making it hypnotizing and eye-catching. Between 4 and 5 o’clock, you will notice the small second subdial. Unlike many other replica watches, this one has the date aperture positioned between the 6 and 8 o’clock markers.
To strengthen the asymmetry pattern, this indicator comes in a larger shape than the small dial on the right side. Also, to make it even more complex, the date aperture is adorned with a moon phase indicator inside. In addition, customers are usually curious about the functionality of the replica watch sub-dials. Well, all of them are functional on this Nautilus. The only exception is the power reserve indicator. This feature is located on the face top left and is the only one that is “un-functional”.
The caseback
Once you turn the replica watch, you will notice that all the lugs come with additional symbol engravings. These are tiny, in fact, but are a pleasant addition to the whole picture. The movement is accurate and beautiful, I would say. In addition, I have to appreciate the masterful work of the manufacturers as I see an accurate logo engraving on a micro auto rotor. Not every replica manufacturer takes the challenge to process such meticulous work, so I have to cherish that.
Actually, this is not the only logo I can spot here. Some pieces of the movement plates also feature mini Patek logos that, by the way, look accurate and professional. For a second, I thought I was looking at a genuine Caliber 240, as the replica version looks highly close to it.
The leather strap
The tranche we recently received came with an alligator leather strap. It looks nice, is well-manufactured, with accurate sealing. Though, many of our customers look for genuine crocodile bands that seem to serve longer due to their softer texture. The good news is that such customers can ask for order customization, requesting the type of leather they prefer.
Either way, the leather strap is always the best choice for the formal style. So, if you don’t have a dress watch in your collection yet, maybe it’s high time to consider one.
If, on the other hand, you still prefer the casual style, perhaps the Nautilus 5712 in stainless steel is a better option for you.
Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712 Stainless Steel Case
I’m glad to re-introduce this model, as it was missing from our collection for some time. Similar to the rose gold version, the stainless steel option also features a gray dial. Even though this version is sportier than the previous one, it still is more elegant if compared to the Nautilus jumbo 5711 model. And this is because of the asymmetrical design approach of the dial.
Functionality
The good news about this replica Nautilus is that all its features function almost the same as the genuine model. As in the case of the rose gold version, the only exception is the power reserve indicator. I don’t know if this is a critical issue for the customers, but the fact that the rest of the features (small seconds, moon phase, date) are functional, is pretty enough for me.
Inspecting the dial accurately, I must say that the elements on the dial are integrated pretty smoothly. However, there are minor position differences from what we see in the genuine model, but these are not critical at all.
The watch back also has a pleasing view. All decorations look smooth and precise, as well as the movement, which was created to look highly close to the genuine Caliber 240. Still, there is a shortcoming with the micro-rotor position. Compared to the genuine version, it is misplaced in the replica watch and the difference is pretty evident to the naked eye. On the other hand, I wouldn’t say it is a crucial error. Taking into consideration the large spectrum of functions and the specific dial design, it must be challenging to clone the watch without changing the position of the auto rotor.
Stainless steel
There isn’t much to say about the material of this replica watch. Our AAAReplica store is a true fan of the 316 stainless steel and we totally trust it. So, this model also comes in 326 stainless steel, making it resistant and durable. I would also add that the finishing is great and smooth. But, this isn’t news for our dedicated customers, as they already know that all our replica watches have such a finish. We only partner with manufacturers who know how to do their jobs in a great manner and an impeccable finish is what we mainly seek in our partners.
Final thoughts
It was my pleasure to inspect these replica Nautilus watches. I simply love them and was delighted to see how great these imitations look. With minor deviations, they are highly accurately manufactured and That’s what I appreciate the most in replica watches: the professionalism towards accuracy. I might accept some design deviations as, after all, it’s almost impossible to reproduce a watch at 100%. Therefore, I always direct my attention to the accuracy and meticulosity of the work done. In this context, I can only say that I remained satisfied with what I saw in these imitations.
