Patek Philippe Calatrava and Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Replicas

[calatrava]

These are some of the replica Patek Philippe Calatravas and a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony that I've recently received, all of them are exceptionally elegant dress watches:

Patek Philippe Calatrava 5127G, 37mm (with automatic Asian mechanical movement)

Patek Philippe Calatrava 5116G, 36mm (with manual Asian mechanical movement)

Perhaps an older and smaller 32mm variant of the Patek Philippe Calatrava 5120G which is 35m (with Quartz movement)

Vacheron Constantin Patrimony 81180.000G, 40mm (with Quartz movement)

All of them have stainless steel cases, and Sapphire crystals, and most notably, the Vacheron has a domed Sapphire crystal, which is a particularly nice touch.

They are all quite modestly priced, and I wish the replica makers would come out with a super replica of one of these watches, which doesn't break the bank. Any leads on this would be greatly appreciated.

Those are some very classy timepieces you have there. Take a look at some of are trusted dealers here,Perfect clones Is a good place to start. They have these reps with the Swiss ETA 2824,2836 movements. I dont know If I would call them "super reps" but they do look to be of very good quailty,happy hunting

Yup...these manual wind and a21j engined dress watches are some the hidden gems in the rep world - simple, elegant, understated.

Thanks for posting these...we don't get too many posts on these dress watches.

Thanks for the pointer, I looked at Perfect Clones, and the only Patek Calatravas with Swiss movements they had had too busy a dial design for my tastes. However, they do have a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony which has the elegant clean look I am looking for, with a Swiss 2824 movement.

I would like to buy a dress watch, and i am thinking Patek Philippe. My challenge is that i have a 9.5" wrist. I recently purchased a AP ROO Montoya from Connie, and i'm currently having HK Tan (Aaron) make me a custom strap. So i am able to get proper straps, but a normal dress watch looks like i've taken one of my lady's watches and put on. it simply looks too small! Any ideas? All suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Thank you!

I don't think Patek makes a dress watch which would fit your needs, the largest ones they have seem to be the 37mm 5127G. However, the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony is a 40mm watch, so perhaps that should be something to look into?

I will look into that one!

I have been using a Daytona that's 41 mm for a while. It looks ok on my wrist, so 40 mm should be ok. 37 mm might be too small.

Thank you!

I like the VC very much. The Gen ones radiate subtle quality in a way I fear a Rep will not be able to reproduce though...

I know I repeat myself here but if you're looking for an elegant watch with larger diameter why not going for the big Railmaster?

Railmaster

I like it (though I can never wear this, too big).

I would like to thank you for the tip, but i'm afraid it's not a model that i'll buy. i think it looks cheap to be quite honest with you.

Maybe if it came in rose gold...

[edit]

One can hardly see the watch through the ironic watermarks however, do a search on senator on this board, and be amazed.

Calatrava, it looks like we have similar tastes. I've been looking for a classic, round, white face watch that's not too busy, and the VC Patrimony is one of my finalists. I also really like the JLC Master Control. I think I like the JLC more because it has a seconds hand. Your pic of the VC Patrimony is starting to sway my decision again.

Then again, that Calatrava 5127G Calatrava 5127G may be the best of them all...

The PP Calatrava is supposed to be 33.45mm and I never found a rep close enough. I love that watch but could not ever get over that size difference.

That's quite all right, tastes are different.

Good luck with your search.

You're probably referring to the Calatrava 3919, which is supposed to be 33.45mm in diameter according to this discussion:

http://indepth.watchprosite.com/show-nblog.post/ti-352122/

However, Patek has replaced this model with the 5116, which is 36mm, like the replica I showed in my original post.

[calatrava]

I just found out that the 32mm 2 hand Patek Calatrava replica I showed in my original post is based on the Patek Philippe Calatrava 3520, which was replaced with the 35mm 5120 a few years ago.

whoa. that is news, and good news too! I have to look into this a bit more.. thanks for the link, and my apologies.... for thinking it was like the 3919/5919

Yes, I believe that you should look into the 36mm 5116 and 5119, which are the same size, but the 5116 has an enamel dial instead.
