What was the biggest news of the year in the world of UK luxury fake Patek Philippe? For many, I think the discontinuation of the Nautilus 5711 will take the cake. The confirmation of the rumor in January left many in shock, and people went nuts over the release of the olive green dial variant dubbed as “the last 5711.” It wasn’t the last 5711, as we all now know. That title belongs to the Tiffany Blue 5711. However, to me, the real big news was the introduction of the new 1:1 replica Patek Philippe Calatrava, which was made extra special with a brand-new hand-wound movement ticking inside.

Automatic calibers are more mainstream in today’s mechanical watchmaking. There just aren’t many manually wound (new) replica watches for sale in the market, and I think it’s safe to say they are filling a niche, mostly marketed towards the enthusiasts. New movement development is often biased towards the popular automatics, and you don’t see too many brand-new manually wound movements coming out, except for the heavy-hitter independents and some high-complication copy watches UK. For the manufacturers, allocating resources to the watches that have the best chance of recouping the R&D expenses just makes sense.

Here comes AAA replica Patek Philippe, ignoring economics 101 and dropping a pair of new time-only references housing a brand-new hand-wound movement.
There is no doubt the biggest attraction here is the new movement: the Caliber 30-255. The perfect fake Patek Philippe’s naming convention of the movement is basically Cal. (diameter)–(thickness), and that means this caliber is 30.4mm wide (inside case diameter per the news release documentation, 31mm overall diameter) and 2.55mm thick. Its predecessor, Cal. 215 PS, shares the same thickness, but the diameter is 8.9mm smaller at 21.5mm (21.9mm overall diameter). And as you can see in the pictures, the exterior design is completely different. You can check out our introduction article from April to learn more about the differences between these two movements.
And finally, let’s talk about my impression on the wrist. With a larger movement, the case size of the best quality copy Patek Philippe has increased to 39mm, but the total height from the top of the crystal to the bottom of the caseback is just 8.08mm. That is a touch taller than the 5196, but you could say it’s a large and thin watch. The wide (for a dress watch) 21mm lug spacing is quintessentially top fake Patek Philippe Calatrava, and the watch provides a great stability on the wrist thanks to its proportion. This may sound cliché, but the watch is very light and comfortable. With the highly ornate Clous de Paris bezel and three-dimensional hands, the new super clone Patek Philippe Calatrava gives a bolder impression compared to its predecessor. Thanks to that, I think the 6119 has gained a quality that invites you to wear it daily, which is a departure from the decisively dressy 5196.

The cheap fake Patek Philippe 6119R features a grained silver dial while the 6119G opts for a charcoal gray dial in vertical satin finish coupled with a circular grained sub-dial. The former variant is officially called silver(y), but it has more of a soft off-white tone to it, and the look of the latter dial changes dramatically with the light. Both are very attractive in different ways, but my personal pick would be the Swiss made copy Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G. The white gold case oozes luxury in a calm and subtle manner, and the contrasting finishes between the main and the sub-dials emphasize the presence of the second hand.

The traditionalists may have mixed opinions of the modern-day Swiss movement replica Patek Philippe Calatrava, but the new movement and styling hint at the arrival of a new era for the Calatrava. To be honest, I always felt I couldn’t quite relate to the Calatrava line due to its strictly dressy nature. I think the 6119 has a refreshing new look that is more versatile. Currently, there are only two Patek Philippe Calatrava fake watches online with Cal. 30-255, but I very much look forward to seeing the expansion of the new series.
