Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. As we all know, Patek Philippe is one of the “kings of watches” in the watchmaking world. As a man, anyone would appreciate Patek Philippe’s Nautilus and Aquanaut series. The Nautilus is a formal dress watch, and when paired with formal attire, it’s a timepiece that grows increasingly captivating with each glance. Paired with a suit and Oxford leather shoes, it offers a sense of styling freedom without the constraints of other traditional dress watches. The Aquanaut series, on the other hand, is more of a casual watch, but how many ultra-thin casual watches have you seen? In the realm of casual men’s watches, the Aquanaut dares to be called an ultra-thin model, making it a rare find among slim men’s casual timepieces. In this watch review, we’ll briefly discuss the specific craftsmanship of the 3K Factory 5168G blue-dial Aquanaut and the authenticity of its 324 integrated movement.
First, measure the size and thickness of the watch. The actual measured size is 42mm, and the thickness is 8.1mm, which is basically synchronized with the original.
From the overall appearance, the diameter of the watch is a bit square, but when you look closely, it feels a bit round. The case is made of 316L stainless steel, the bezel is slightly thick and brushed, and the chamfer of the bezel and case is polished.
The disk adopts the blue literal of gradual change, and there will be different changes in the past from different angles, which is also synchronized and genuine.
The hands are designed with a simple large three-hand design. The sword-shaped hour and minute hands are filled with high-strength luminous materials in the center. The slender second hand sweeps the entire disk. At 12 o’clock, it is the brand logo. At 3 o’clock, it is the calendar display window. The calendar window is also chamfered and retouched, and the shape is very delicate. The calendar window made by 3K is relatively correct, while the calendar window made by the PF factory before is a bit small. Eleven Arabic hour markers are placed on the disk regularly, all filled with luminous paint, which is full of three-dimensional effect.
Both sides of the case are polished with fine brushed wire, and the effect is very good. The side is very layered, the upper bezel is polished, the center case is brushed, and the bottom cover is polished. The workmanship is really fine.
The crown is made of a classic screw-in waterproof crown, and the head is also engraved with the classic engraved logo of Patek Philippe, with a spiral texture on the side.
The bottom cover adopts screw-in sealing treatment, sapphire glass mirror surface, and 6 sets of teeth are placed neatly, so I dare not miss a trace.
The 3K factory leads the era of all-in-one machines with a customized version of the Cal.324 all-in-one machine – thinner, more stable and more like. The details are in place, the movement logo and text are laser engraved, with high definition and beauty. The texture of the golden yellow pendulum is very literary.
