Category: Patek Philippe Nautilus Replica

1997, 21 years after the introduction of the Patek Philippe Nautilus replica stainless steel sports watch, Patek Philippe introduced a new watch aimed at a younger clientele: the Aquanaut. Now, in 2016, almost 20 years later, they introduce a new variation on the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time, a watch that was introduced in 2011: It is the reference 5164R, where the R stands for rose gold.

I’ve always been a fan of the Patek Philippe Nautilus 3700/1A and 5711/1A and prefer them as clean as possible (no complications), as it was meant to be in my opinion. That is a bit different with the Aquanaut. Perhaps I am a bit too much of a purist when it comes to watches, but the Aquanaut always was the next best Patek sports watch for me. Even though at some point my colleague Gerard Nijenbrinks had one (I recall being it the 40mm ref.5167A) and I kind liked it on a leather strap (instead of the rubber), I still preferred the classic Nautilus 5711/1A or a Royal Oak 15202ST. Two Genta giants (I compared them here in-depth).

However, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time that was introduced in 2011 made a huge impression on me and I remember that was the talk of the town during the BaselWorld exhibition. The first Aquanaut with a complication, and perhaps the most useful one for people who travel often through different time zones. The watch did not come cheap, at $32.000.- USD back then, but at least you would travel in style. On the other hand, looking up this exact reference today in the (pre-owned) watch market, you didn’t loose money over it.
This year, Patek Philippe had quite a bit of novelties and stunning pieces, including a rose gold version of the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time, reference 5164R-001.

The dimensions and movement are equal to the stainless steel version (Patek Philippe replica Aquanaut Travel Time reference 5164A-001), but the rose gold combines with the brown dial and rubber strap make it a very handsome, almost dressy, sports watch.

Although the watch measures 40.8mm in diameter, it wears very modest on the wrist. It is by no means a small cheap replica watches, but definitely not bulky either. The time zone complication is very easy to use, just use the two pushers on the left side of the case to increase or decrease the hour hand by one hour at a time. The awesome thing is, that the pushers on the left side looks a bit like the crown guard on the right side. It looks very well-balanced, perhaps even nicer (for me) than the regular Aquanaut models.
As you can see on the images, the watch has an aperture indicating day/night in local time and in home time. It helps you to see whether you can contact someone at a decent hour of the day. I can imagine (and recall it myself as well when I used to travel a lot) that at some point, you don’t keep track.

The lower part of the watch shows an elegant way of indicating the date. The hands and Arabic numerals are in rose gold as well, to match the case. The Arabic numerals are filled with luminous material for better time reading in the dark or low-light. The printing of the hour indexes, date scale etc are a bit bold, but it fits the sporty nature of the replica Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time.
Inside, Patek Philippe uses the caliber 324 S C FUS movement, based on the caliber 324 S C. It is a beautiful looking movement as you can see above, and only 4.82mm in height despite the 294 components that are used for this complication timepiece. The power reserve is 45 hours and beats at 28,800vph. This movement also bears the Patek Philippe Seal.

Below, you get a better glimpse of the brown rubber embossed strap and the double folding clasp, showing the Patek Philippe logo. It is very comfortable strap to wear, but if you want to make the replica watches a bit dressier, you might as well add an alligator strap to your purchase.
Aside from the price tag (see below), the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time in rose gold surely isn’t a watch for everyone. Which is a good thing! The shape of the case, the sporty character and rose gold might be to everyone’s liking, as I can imagine that some Patek purists rather go with the Calatrava or more classic looking timepieces. However, as a fan of the Nautilus, I have to admit this watch is one of my favorites of the Patek Philippe collection today. I am not a Calatrava guy myself.

Well, as said, the price is decisive in many cases, and this Patek Philippe is priced at CHF 45,000.- Swiss Francs, including 8% VAT. Considering the rose gold, Patek Philippe is very reasonable if you compare this price to the one of the stainless steel version (which is $36,400 USD).

A couple of years back, Patek Philippe replica presented another Ref. 5980/1A with a white dial (for laymen: that is the Nautilus Chronograph). We at Monochrome replica Watches were somewhat amazed to find, at Baselworld 2014, that Patek had effectively ceased the steel 5980/1A display and supplanted it with a steel Nautilus Chronograph with a second time zone, similar to the one in the Aquanaut Travel Time Ref. 5164.

That implies that the 5980/1A-019 (the white-dial Nautilus Chrono) will have been underway for just two years. Since we’re discussing Patek here, creations numbers are fairly low, and this reference is presently an exceptionally uncommon flying creature which we hope to wind up extremely collectible. Despite the fact that the other steel 5980/1A models are not as uncommon (but rather super-uncommon contrasted with a Rolex Submariner, for occasion), we would not be astounded to see their costs climb now that the interest can never again be satisfied at Patek Philippe replica watches boutiques yet just on the auxiliary business sector. Be that as it may, now, how about we investigate the novice in the Nautilus family, whose extra second-time-zone capacity works simply like the one in the previously stated cheap Patek Philippe replica Aquanaut Travel Time, presented in 2011.

On the dial, we see the chronograph register at 6 o’clock, and, like that on the Aquanaut Travel Time, it includes a pointer-date, now situated on the upper part of the dial. The date sign is associated with the nearby time, which is your travel destination. Whenever voyaging, it can be balanced both forward and in reverse, to take after the date of the time zone where you are. To one side and right on the dial are two little openings, which demonstrate day and night in both the neighborhood time zone and the home time zone. The chronograph pushers – to begin, stop and reset to zero – are situated on the left-hand side of the case, much the same as on the Nautilus Chronograph Ref. 5980/1A. Where the old 5980/1A had a hour long and 12-hour register for measuring passed time, the new ref. 5990/1A has only one hour long counter. While you won’t have the capacity to quantify to what extent that intercontinental flight took any longer, the new subdial is cleaner and less demanding to peruse. What’s more, with the extra pointer-date enlist, that is something worth being thankful for.

On the left-hand side of the case are two pushers for changing the nearby time zone when you’re voyaging. Plan insightful, swiss Patek Philippe replica did exceptionally well here, in light of the fact that these pushers resemble the regular “ears” of the Nautilus case. Be that as it may, adding them constrained Patek to change the model’s commonplace two-section case for a more customary three-section case. In spite of the fact that the whole case development has changed, the measurement is still 40.5 mm and the case is still water-impervious to 120 meters. Likewise the general case thickness is very little more prominent (the official information is not gave) than the 5980’s thickness of 12.6 mm. When we saw the primary pictures, we “dreaded” the replica watches would be too thick and excessively occupied on the dial. In the wake of attempting it on the wrist, we’re persuaded that our fears were unfounded.

The development of the Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph, Caliber 28-520 C FUS, begins with the same base bore as its antecedent; notwithstanding, now it has an extra module for the two time zones (called “FUS”) — once more, the same module utilized as a part of the Aquanaut Travel Time. The retail cost in Swiss Francs is CHF 47,000 (about $57,300), only a couple of thousand more than the steel Ref. 5980/1A. That is still a great deal of cash, yet we’re happy that Patek didn’t set the cost considerably higher. Regardless of the way that the Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph is an extraordinary expansion to the Nautilus accumulation, I will miss the 5980/1A, as a result of its sportier look. Despite everything I consider the 5980/1A to be the Magnum Opus of extravagance games replica watches. Check here for our broad survey of the Nautilus 5980/1A.

Our decision? As far as size and solace, the new 5990/1A is pretty much identical to the 5980/1A. In any case, as far as usefulness, the new 5990/1A is better than the more established 5980/1A and we trust this is precisely the kind of replica watches that a number of Patek’s clients — with their every day business-travel life — are searching for.
