The perpetual calendar chronograph is my favourite complication combination from best Patek Philippe replica watches, so when they released the new Quadruple Complication that combines these two with a split seconds functionality and a minute repeater at Watches and Wonders this year, I knew it was going to be something special. The ref. 5308G-001 brings together all of the incredible expertise the Genevan watchmaker holds in its high complications department into a compact and rather handsome form. The UK AAA fake watches itself is based on a limited run that was presented at the Tokyo Watch Art Grand Exhibition in 2023, which now enters the main catalogue.
There is a lot to unpick with this model, so bear with me. In typical Patek style, the numerous layers of complications are displayed in the most elegant and comfortable way possible, with perpetual calendar indications integrated into the dial in a near-seamless fashion. The day, date, and month apertures fit between the markers at 10 and 2, while the leap year is tucked into the 60-minute counter at 3. A subtle day/night indicator appears in the 12-hour counter at 9, and the moonphase has been inverted to help the dial balance better and not encroach on the chronograph functions. All of this takes place on a sea of ice blue contrasted with white and darker blue accents.
While the dial layout is impressive and clearly well thought through, it is in the movement construction that this high quality copy watches really shows its mastery. The calibre R CHR 27 PS QI is based on the R CH 27 PS QI that was first used in 2011 to power the ref. 5208 – the addition this movement brings to the fore is split-second functionality for the chronograph. This only increases the movement’s thickness by 1.93mm, all thanks to a patented system to separate the split seconds hand from the running of the other chronograph seconds hand. This isolation system’s true genius comes in the fact that it requires almost no energy to hold the split seconds hand in place.
A second innovation that 1:1 online Patek Philippe replica watches has brought to this movement is finding a more elegant solution to an issue that would normally plague any chronograph with a horizontal clutch, and that is the stuttering of the seconds hand. Traditionally, this has been resolved by adding a spring to provide friction. Instead of having this spring on the chronograph wheel, top China replica Patek Philippe watches has redesigned the clutch wheel so that each of its teeth is made of a spring blade, creating an anti-backlash wheel. This also dramatically reduces energy consumption when the chronograph is activated.
Overall, this incredible movement has 799 components in it, with 48 hours of power reserve topped up by the small platinum micro-rotor. While that may not sound like a lot, when you have so many complications stacked on top of one another, it’s phenomenal that it can achieve this number, and even 10 hours less with the chronograph running.
The case is made from white gold, and features an interchangeable solid or sapphire display caseback to show off this incredible movement. This is something Patek has been offering on a number of its super clone watches for sale for years now, and allows the client to choose whether they want their watch to feel more vintage with the secretive closed caseback or to show off the Patek Philippe Seal finishing of the movement.
It might feel as though I’ve slightly brushed over the instantaneous perpetual calendar or minute repeater functions in this Swiss movements replica watches, but the complexity of the innovations to the chronograph features felt as though they required an article to themselves, while the other features here are nothing terribly new to the Patek catalogue – although that should not detract from their beauty and technicality. Not bad for luxury copy watches UK that will set you back north of CHF 1 million…
