Alright, so I’ve been itching to get my hands on a decent Patek Philippe replica for a while now. Specifically, that Grand Complications 5320G-011 model. Heard a lot of chatter about it, figured it was time to see what the fuss was all about.
I placed my order with Chazingtime, my first time ordering from them. I sent the payment, which went through without a hitch. The waiting game began, which, let’s be honest, is the hardest part. Finally, after what felt like ages, I got that glorious email – it had shipped!
Fast forward to today, the package arrived. I ripped into that box like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, the Patek Philippe 5320G-011, in all its replicated glory. First impression? Not bad, not bad at all.
They say this model takes some cues from those classic Pateks from the ’40s and ’50s, and I can see that. It’s got that vintage vibe, but it’s still got that modern Patek feel. This one’s got a 40mm white gold case, which feels pretty hefty on the wrist. It features a rose-gilt opaline dial, and the brown strap is just the right amount of classy, really.
From what I gather, the real deal 5320G-011 dropped in 2017, even though it’s got that old-school look, and it’s a perpetual calendar, which is a fancy way of saying it’s got all those little windows and dials that show you the date, the day of the week, the month, even the moon phase.
I mean, I’m no watch expert, but this replica seems to have nailed all those details. It has the original box and papers. The year of production is 2023. You’ve got your day, date, month, all laid out nice and clear.
Here’s the breakdown of what I noticed:
- Case: Feels solid, good weight, looks like white gold, just like it should.
- Dial: That rose-gilt opaline color is spot on. The hands look right.
- Strap: It feels pretty good, like real leather, and the color matches what I’ve seen in pictures.
- Movement: Now, I can’t really comment on the insides. I’m not about to crack this thing open, but it’s ticking away nicely.
- Complications: All the little windows seem to be in the right place. Haven’t had time to see how accurate they are, but they look the part.
Overall, it seems to be worth the money
So, is this replica Patek Philippe 5320G-011 worth it? Well, for the price, it’s definitely impressive. It’s got the look, it’s got the feel, and it seems to have all the bells and whistles of the original. I’ll need to wear it for a while, see how it holds up, and maybe even compare it to a real one if I ever get the chance. But for now, I’m pretty darn happy with my purchase. This might just be the start of a beautiful (and much more affordable) watch collection!
