Founded in the mid-19th century, Patek Philippe has maintained its reputation as one of the leading Swiss luxury watchmakers in the market. The brand has been producing watches with advanced machinery for decades. Its watches are not only accurate and durable but also fashionable. One of the brand’s finest watches is the Patek Philippe Nautilus.
Originally released into the market in 1977, the Nautilus achieved immediate success and worldwide popularity. Given its amazing look, impeccable functionality, and outstanding durability, the watch is bound to be very expensive. As an alternative to the high-cost authentic Patek Philippe Nautilus, there are replica watches available in the market at rather cheaper costs.
These watches bear such striking resemblances to real clocks that it is difficult to distinguish them. Below is a comparison of a genuine Patek Philippe nautilus watch.
The dial is one of the traits of the Patek Philippe Nautilus that you can use to spot the differences between an authentic and knock off version of the watch. The real watch has a typically smooth black and blue dial complete with a distinct gradient. The dial also has an embossed horizontal groove that runs through its extensive operation. On this watch, the dial is different. While the replica also comes in blue and black color, the real watch has a more electric blue and black tone.
While the case and bezel of a fake and authentic Patek Philippe Nautilus are almost identical, there are some differences that can be seen upon a closer look. Among the similarities is the fact that both versions consist of a porthole design case. The bezel is screwed onto the case like a porthole. The case measures 43mm in diameter and is a single part from the case back. The shape of the bezel is where the difference can be noticed. For an authentic Patek Philippe Nautilus, the bezel is prominently octagonal shaped with outwardly curving sides. For a replica watch, the bezel is octagonal and outwardly curved. The octagon is however mild and can easily be mistaken for being circular. The essence of porthole design is better embodied in real watches than in fake ones.
The bracelet of the Patek Philippe Nautilus is another outstanding feature of the watch. As a sports watch, the bracelet is designed to ensure that the wearer feels comfortable at all times. It is thin and smooth, making it both light and comfortable at the wrist. The folding mechanism is kept simple and efficient, including two metals with neither finish nor engraving. The bracelet material is slightly thicker for the knock-off version of the Patek Philippe Nautilus watch. The clasp of both the fake and authentic Patek Philippe replica is similar nonetheless. They have a safety flip lock which is included for security purposes.
