UK Perfect Replica Patek Philippe ref. 5960/1A
The high quality replica Patek Philippe reference 5960 watches are an annual calendar chronograph that utilizes a unique, symmetrical design. This reference was introduced in 2006 and featured the brand’s first in-house chronograph movement. The brand was also the first to introduce an annual calendar complication in 1996, so this is a pairing and reference that means a great deal to Patek Philippe as we know it today. The 5960 has seen a range of configurations, from dial colors to materials, but all are built in a 40.5 mm frame. In 2014, Patek released the reference in steel, and on a brick road style bracelet, and even used a high contrast white with black accents dial. It was an unexpected, but certainly welcome move.
The 59601/A uses the caliber CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H, which sets the calendar functions along the top of the dial, each adjusted via pushers along the left side of the case. The timing functions are nested at 6 o’clock to keep things symmetrical. This reference was discontinued in 2017 after a rather short production run, making it all the more interesting in the long term. This example, from The 1916 Company, comes as a full kit and is in overall excellent condition with little signs of wear. This is a unique and important modern cheap super clone Patek Philippe, and prices likely haven’t caught up to that fact.
UK Top Replica Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Ref. 5738/1R-001
The Swiss copy Patek Phlippe Golden Ellipse watches get the nod from me not so much for its mechanical ingenuity, but purely by merit of incredible product design. The Ref. 5738/1R-001 reminds us of the importance of form and that it is not beneath function in luxury watchmaking. From the flowing full-gold chain bracelet, to the elliptical case and ebony dial, every detail exists in harmony with one another. While the Calibre 240 that drives the 1:1 wholesale fake watches are both reliable and attractive, it’s not particularly interesting (compared to the rest of the watch). The solid case back here is therefore the superior choice from a design perspective. This is something I wish luxury watch manufacturers would understand: if your movements aren’t pretty or interesting, hide it behind a solid back. It’s time to dial back the sapphire crystal case back trend. But I digress. A wristwatch that looks more like jewelry than a time-telling device isn’t going to be for everyone, but I personally cannot resist its charm. It’s the perfect watch to add a dash of flair to your wardrobe.
