Alright, today I’m gonna share my experience messing around with a replica of the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5320G-011. This isn’t the real deal, but it’s a pretty good copy, and I wanted to see how it stacks up.
First off, I started by getting my hands on this replica. It’s supposed to mimic the 5320G-011, which is a white gold watch with a rose-gilt opaline dial – pretty fancy, right? The original is a classic design with a perpetual calendar, and this replica tries to capture that vintage vibe.
So, I got the watch and checked it out. The case size is supposed to be 40mm, just like the original. I measured it, and yep, it’s spot on. The thickness is around 11mm, which also matches up. They even got the lug-to-lug measurement right at about 48mm. Feels pretty good on the wrist, not too bulky or anything.
- Examined the dial closely – it’s got that rose-gold color, and the hands and numerals have this luminous stuff on them, just like the real one.
- Tested out the perpetual calendar function. It’s not as smooth as I imagine the real Patek’s would be, but it works. You can set the day, date, month, and even the leap year. It’s a bit fiddly, but hey, it’s a replica.
- Wore it around for a few days to see how it felt. It’s comfortable enough, and the brown strap it comes with is decent quality.
The movement inside is some automatic mechanical thing. I’m no watch expert, so I can’t tell you exactly what it is, but it keeps time okay. I noticed it gains a few seconds here and there, but nothing too crazy. The real Patek Philippe probably has some super precise movement, but this one does the job for a replica.
Final Thoughts
Honestly, for a replica, this Patek Philippe 5320G-011 is not bad. It looks the part, feels alright on the wrist, and the perpetual calendar function is a cool touch. If you’re into the look of the Grand Complications but don’t want to drop a fortune on the real thing, this could be a decent option. Just don’t expect it to be perfect – it’s a replica, after all. But for the price, it’s a fun piece to mess around with and see what the hype is all about.
That’s my little adventure with this replica watch. Hope you found it interesting! Let me know if you guys have messed with any replica watches yourselves.
