Like Rolex, Patek Philippe is an independent brand, and so this storied Swiss watchmaker has carved an esoteric path through the thickets of horology to create what many argue are the very best 1:1 replica watches in the world. “Best,” of course, doesn’t mean perfect. Naysayers armed with a flimsy (and deeply ironic) anti-luxury ethos typically target the high prices and then have little left to say, because a Patek Phillipe watch — even if you don’t like the thing or what you presume it stands for — is an undeniably awesome piece of human ingenuity.

Why Are Patek Philippe Watches So Expensive?

Patek is no ordinary watch brand. It’s a darling of collectors for its approach to and execution of its craft, widely regarded as representing tradition and excellence in watchmaking — and it’s deserving of this reputation. Call it art, if you will, but this kind of thing doesn’t come cheap for a number of reasons (explaining exactly why watches can be so expensive can be tricky). While the sticker price of Swiss Patek Philippe fake watches start at five figures and goes (way) up from there, the brand isn’t alone in its price segment.

The sticker price isn’t what CA online replica Patek Philippe watches are best known for. It’s at auctions where you’ll find the craziest watch prices, and two brands utterly dominate the scene: Rolex and Patek Philippe. The most expensive watch ever sold at auction is a Patek Philippe. The brand has a feverish following among collectors, but it’s even broken into the mainstream consciousness thanks to, primarily, the coveted Nautilus as many celebrities’ flex of choice.

Patek Philippe Watch Collections

Let’s first get our heads around the major categories within the Patek Philippe collection.

Nautilus Collection

Some would say that Patek Philippe was playing catch up to Audemars Piguet’s groundbreaking Royal Oak when it hired acclaimed designer Gerald Genta in the 1970s, but the resulting cheap copy watches, the Nautilus, went on to be a disco-era classic unto itself. Today the demand is so high that you’ll have to wiggle your way onto a long waitlist to get one.

    Case Diameter: 41mm

    Complications: date

Patek announced it was discontinuing its insanely popular 5711 in 2021, considered by many the perfect luxury sports replica watches site. Its successor is the 5811, which is nearly identical but has a two-part case construction measuring 41mm wide (one millimeter more than the 5711). It only comes in white gold, for the time being, but that makes it easy to imagine what the expected (eventual) steel version will look like.

Aquanaut Collection

Launched in 1997, the Aquanaut was Patek’s attempt to offer a more affordable sports fake watches shop. It is, however, an incredibly cool, water-ready watch that has a sportier edge than the Nautilus, largely due to the bold numerals and its iconic mid-century dial engraving (until they pave it with diamonds, that is).

    Case Diameter: 40mm

    Complications: Date

This is the most stripped-down luxury replica Patek Philippe sports watches, and for those who think it doesn’t have enough going on, we suggest you get one on your wrist and see if that doesn’t change your mind. The bezel is a subtle 16-sided affair, with brushed and polished casework that glimmers in steel and gold.

Calatrava Collection

During the Great Depression, Patek launched the Calatrava as a Bauhaus-inspired solution to the draining bank accounts of America and Europe (very few folks were buying complicated wristwatches then). Like many solutions to hardship, the Calatrava broke the mold and set Patek Philippe ahead as a modern-thinking company. Today, these elegant perfect super clone watches defy the ages to appear as current as ever.

    Case Diameter: 39mm

    Complications: N/A

With minimalist three-hand time telling and its refreshing lack of date window, the 5227 epitomizes the unadorned Bauhaus aesthetic that undergirds the Calatrava line. Running on a manually wound movement, the 37mm case harkens back to an era when China replica watches were generally smaller, but the 5196 has a massive wrist presence.

Complications

Often featuring two or more complications (or non-time-telling devices), there are currently 36 individual models within this line from Patek Philippe. We direct you to their Complications Page to explore all of them, but we’ve selected some representative models that are sure to whet your appetite for these handmade beauties.

In steel on a bracelet with a dazzling green dial makes it suddenly sporty, modern and one of the standout releases of 2021.

Equally impressive is that it all fits in a 40mm package, and despite the density of information it offers, the watch remains elegant and legible.

Golden Ellipse Collection

When these 2023 fake watches came out in 1968, there really wasn’t anything like them on the market. Ultra-thin, often paired with dripping gold bracelets reminiscent of an Antoni Gaudi cathedral, and able to jibe with that era’s Armani and YSL suiting, the Golden Ellipse didn’t just depart from Patek Phillip’s aesthetic, but from that of all of horology. Reissued recently in an updated larger size, the Golden Ellipse has been warmly welcomed back into the Patek lineup.

Patek Philippe Twenty-4 Collection Replica Watches

Patek Philippe Gondolo Collection Fake Watches

Also aimed at women, these smaller replica watches store come in an assortment of elegant shapes, often encrusted with diamonds.
