Replica Patek Philippe 5327R-001: Get That Grand Complications Classic Style Look Without the Price Tag.

Okay, let’s talk about this watch I’ve been messing around with. It’s a replica, yeah, but it’s a pretty darn good one. It’s supposed to be like the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5327R-001. You know, the fancy one with the perpetual calendar and all that jazz.

First off, I started by checking it out, really carefully. It’s got this rose gold look, just like the real deal. And the case, it’s pretty well made. Not too shabby at all.

Movement

• I then start to open it up to look at the movement inside, which is supposed to be an automatic, self-winding type.
• This one’s got some decorations on it, some fancy patterns. I guess that’s what they call “fausses cotes.”
• I’m not a watch expert, but it looks like the movement, it’s trying to be like the Caliber 240 Q, you know, the one that Patek Philippe uses.

Dial and features

Next, I checked out the face of the watch, the dial. It’s this ivory color, kind of creamy. They painted these gold numbers on it, they call them Breguet numerals. Looks pretty, but I gotta say, up close, you can tell it’s not the real thing. But from afar it’s fine.

This watch, it’s got a bunch of stuff on it, not just the time. It’s got the day, the date, the month. It even shows you the leap year and has a 24-hour hand. That’s a lot going on for a replica, right? I fiddled around with these, and they seem to work okay. Setting them is a bit of a pain, but they do change when they’re supposed to.

Case back

And get this, it comes with two different backs for the watch. One is solid, the other one lets you see the movement inside through this clear sapphire crystal. I swapped them out a few times, which is kind of a cool touch. You can pretend to show off the insides if you want to.

I played around with it for a few days, wore it around. It feels okay on the wrist, not too heavy. The strap is, well, it’s a replica strap, so don’t expect too much. But it does the job.

So, after all that, what do I think? It’s a decent replica. It’s not going to fool a watch expert, but for someone who just likes the look of the Patek Philippe 5327R, it’s not a bad choice. It’s got the look, most of the functions, and it’s not going to cost you an arm and a leg. Just don’t go around trying to pass it off as the real thing, alright?
