PPF Factory Patek Philippe 5712/1R Rose Gold 240 One-Piece Movement Upgrade Version with Real Power Reserve Indicator

Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712 model is produced by PPF Factory with a solid 904L stainless steel case, 40 mm diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

As for function, this is actually the most important part of complex watches; It goes without saying that it is the most basic prerequisite for replica watches. Previously, when PPF Factory Patek Philippe did not release this rose gold model, the factory we could choose in the market was GR Factory. However, GR Factory also has a shortcoming: The 48-hour power reserve indicator between the 10th and 11th directions of the dial does not work, it only appears as a decorative element. In contrast, only the PPF Factory 5712 stainless steel version managed to make the power reserve indicator 100 percent functional. The comparison between the two reveals a relatively contradictory picture.

Movement and Caliber Performance

When you choose the GR Factory rose gold version, there is a defect in the power reserve indicator; PPF Factory, the only factory that truly shows the power reserve, has not yet released the rose gold version. However, now, after this model has been released, a completely different peak is experienced in the PP replica world. So now we can completely leave GR Factory aside and choose PPF Factory replica watch. Whether it is stainless steel or rose gold, the functions can be ensured regardless of the model. So far, we have learned the entire market situation regarding PP replica 5712; Now let's see how the detail workmanship of this PPF Factory 5712 rose gold version is.

Case and Body Workmanship

The original model uses 100 percent 18K rose gold material; PPF Factory, on the other hand, transforms 904L stainless steel material into a rose gold appearance with the PVD coating process, popularly known as plated gold. Today, the PVD coating process can match the color tone of the original by approximately 95 percent. First of all, we need to say this clearly: Plated gold is plated gold; It can never meet 18K gold one hundred percent. If watch lovers cannot accept this situation, they have two options: First, not to buy; The second is to upgrade it with 18K gold plating.

As for the functions: 48-hour power reserve indicator between 10-11 directions, moon and moon phase indicator between 6-8 directions, and seconds display between 4-5 directions. These 4 functions are 100% working.

Dial and Hand Details

In fact, when we evaluate it according to the highest level version, when we compare the dial of the PPF Factory 5712 in its factory standard form with the original, we see that it has not yet fully reached the standard. The only way to meet the standard to approximate 98 percent of the original is to reach a certain rate with modified upscaling. When replaced with an equivalent dial, both the sharpness of the hour markers and the roughness of the function indicators become much softer and smoother. For example, the colors of the moon and stars in the lunar phase are much more consistent with the original. On the dots on the dial, there is a distinction between large and small dots according to regions.

The machining and polishing workmanship on the appearance part is very meticulous; It can basically reflect the appearance details of the original. The standard case unique to Nautilus successfully brings back the approximately 8.52 mm thin structure of the original with its special production. The bezel part has a cutting surface design; The shine of each surface is created by the polishing process, so two high-level workmanship is presented together: a brushed texture on the surface and a polished surface on the sides of the bezel. The high-transparency sapphire glass that comes as standard is now considered normal equipment, not a very high-end accessory.

Next comes the black-grey transitional dial. This dial is made more true to the original compared to the GR Factory; The central point is gray, and the part spreading towards the edges has a black structure. PPF Factory Patek Philippe has really done a very good job in this regard. When we compare the round corner processing workmanship of the hour markers with the original, it did not reach the expected original level; In my personal opinion, this is the situation. The original has slightly softer lines. To remedy this deficiency, I will soon offer you a budget-friendly modification solution that will increase the realism of the entire watch.

PPF Factory PP uses the super one-piece Cal.240PS mechanism. This mechanism consists of a total of 265 parts; The straight mainspring and rotor structure matches the layout of the original movement. As a result, choosing a single-piece movement provides a much more realistic appearance, since the mechanism can be seen through the transparent case back. Since GR Factory uses a custom-made movement, the power reserve indicator does not work.

So for high-end replica watches that are closer to the original, I personally recommend getting a modified upgrade; Replacing the entire dial with an equivalent dial offers much more affordable price/performance. At the same time, there is nothing that would indicate a fake at first glance in the appearance and internal structure of the dial. PP replica is also a cost issue for factories; If the factory uses an equivalent dial, watch enthusiasts may not necessarily choose it, because the production cost will increase and the sales price will also increase.
