Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey. Today, we bring you the Patek Philippe Calatrava Classic Series 5227G-001 replica watch. This is a new product from the 3K factory. It is equipped with a replicated CAL.324 integrated movement. Before 3K launched 5227, the replica market also had this 5227 launched by ZF factory. However, the ZF factory is equipped with a 9015 movement. Regardless of the simulation degree of the movement, the ZF factory’s 5227 is very good in general. Now let’s talk about the simulation degree of this new 5227G replica watch from the 3K factory compared with the genuine product and whether it can surpass the ZF factory’s 5227 replica version.
3K Factory Patek Philippe Calatrava Series 5227G with Solid Caseback – Real Shots by Bokey
Genuine product specifications: Patek Philippe Calatrava Series 5227G-001 watch. Price: 254,000.
Dimensions and thickness of the 3K Factory Patek Philippe 5227G with solid caseback:
First of all, let’s measure the size, thickness and weight of the general’s bottom of the 3K factory 5227G. After actual measurement by Bokey, the dial diameter is 39 millimeters, the thickness is 9.5 millimeters, and the weight is 58 grams. In terms of weight, the genuine product uses 18K white gold. The 3K 5227 will be relatively lighter than the genuine product in weight. This is mainly due to material and cost issues. Bokey doesn’t have the physical genuine product to weigh here, so the weight of the genuine product is unknown. But according to Bokey personal experience, the genuine product will definitely be a bit heavier than the replica. After all, the density of precious metal materials is still a bit larger than that of 316L fine steel, so the weight will also be heavier. In terms of thickness, the 3K factory 5227 is the only one in the replica market that achieves the same thickness as the genuine product. The thickness of the ZF factory 5227 mentioned earlier is 10.5 millimeters, which is 1 millimeter thicker than the genuine product. In terms of thickness, the general’s bottom of the 3K factory 5227 is completely victorious. Let’s continue to look below.
Watch Review: 3K Factory Patek Philippe 5227G Solid Caseback Replica Watch
The 3K Factory Patek Philippe 5227G with a solid caseback is a classic model from Patek Philippe. It can be considered the “king of dress watches,” as its influence can be seen in many other formal timepieces such as the IWC Portofino, Jaeger-LeCoultre Ultra-Thin Master, and Vacheron Constantin Patrimony. This watch embodies the essence of elegance and timeless design that defines luxury dress watches.
The watch mirror is made of sapphire glass and is coated with a colorless coating, which looks very transparent.
The light yellow enamel glaze dial has only hour, minute, second and date displays, without other messy functions. It only emphasizes the most original meaning of the watch – displaying time. There is a calendar window at the 3 o’clock position, and the font size is evenly centered.
The most important thing about the 3K factory Patek Philippe 5227 replica watch still lies in the opening and closing details of the officer’s case back cover and the movement. There is no need to elaborate too much on the details of the dial.
The case is made of 316 fine steel. Factory 3K first polishes and grinds the entire case, making the overall appearance very bright in texture. With a perfect circular ratio and soft texture, the gap at the edge of the hinge of the case opening and closing dust cover is extremely small and almost invisible to the naked eye. When worn on the hand, the hinge connected to the case is completely invisible. At this point, Factory 3K has done an excellent job and is completely the same as the original.
On the other side is the time adjustment crown. After precision polishing and grinding by CNC, the details of the Calatrava cross logo on the crown are also very textured and full of three-dimensionality! In terms of function: directly pulling it out is to adjust the calendar. The second gear is for adjusting the time. The fact that adjusting the time does not stop the seconds is also consistent with the genuine product.
The front of the case back is polished with a brushed process, and the texture is very fine. The four lugs are also engraved with precious metal marks. The strap also adopts a quick-release design. It can be disassembled with just a light push. These points are all in sync with the genuine design.
The 3K factory 5227G replica watch is equipped with a self-produced 324 integrated movement. There is no need to repeat this movement. It has been applied to the 3K Nautilus more than a year ago. The overall feedback is very good, and the repair rate is extremely low. According to Bokey sales experience, it can be concluded that there are less than two repairs for every hundred pieces. This 324 integrated movement is indeed very awesome. Watch enthusiasts can rest assured to start!
The 3K factory 324 integrated movement has an overall similarity of more than 98% to the genuine movement in terms of structure. In terms of polishing and gemstone color, it is a bit inferior in aesthetics compared to the genuine 324 movement. This cannot be denied.
The back of the officer’s case back is polished like a mirror. From the case back, you can see the reflection of the movement. As a certain watch enthusiast said, “For women, it’s a cosmetic case; for men, it’s an officer’s case back.
The watch strap is made of American alligator strap. This is also one of the highlights of this 3K factory 5227 model. It saves the trouble of matching an alligator leather strap later and is in place in one step! In terms of strap colors, you can choose according to your preference. There are two color schemes available: brown and black.
The buckle is a pin buckle. There is no brand logo on the front. On the back, there is the brand logo of Patek Philippe and some precious metal marks. Overall, it is clear and powerful.
Summary: Calatrava is regarded as a classic of round wristwatches. With simple, pure, elegant and low-key lines. It is an important element that Patek Philippe is highly sought after by watch enthusiasts. The large three hands for hours, minutes and seconds plus date display. The simple and efficient design is sufficient to meet daily wearing needs. And this Patek Philippe 5227 replica watch launched by Factory 3K not only has exquisite workmanship details. It shows the strong craftsmanship level of Factory 3K. The equipped 324 all-in-one movement is even more accurate and stable in timekeeping.
