Dial and Hand Details

First of all, I present to you PPF Nautilus white dial real-replica comparison; GEN original on the left, replica on the right.

There are real shot photos of the gray dial at the end of the article.

Glass and Sapphire Crystal

Sapphire crystal glass is used in the same way as the original; Since it is clear and bright, it makes it easier for us to read the dial information.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The dial has a horizontal striped decoration; PPF retains the overall sense of depth of the original dial and does not look monotonous. When we enlarge the dial, the original looks finer in texture grains. PPF has also been very meticulous in the details of the black-coated hour markers; It has an oily shine. The stick markers at 12 o'clock are right in the middle and look neat, and the black frame of the date window has that oily shine. All details on the dial surface PPF remain the same as the original, the workmanship is flawless.

In macro shooting, the original looks noticeably rougher than the PPF; but this is only noticeable at a few times magnification, it is difficult to distinguish at normal distance.

Date window design with round corners; The black frame preserves the oily shine of the original, and the detail work is spot on.

There does not appear to be a significant difference between PPF and the original, whether in bar signs or English letters.

Black coated hour and minute hands; It is processed extremely perfectly in terms of length, size and cutting workmanship, there are no burrs.

The original uses Patek Philippe's own Cal.324 S C movement. Although the PPF has also been upgraded to the integrated movement version, its basis is still the 9015; only the bridge plate has been removed. So there is still a difference in the date setting function, that is, the date order is different. In the original, the numbers 1 to 31 are ordered counterclockwise, while in PPF they are ordered clockwise; This is due to the function limitation of the mechanism. As for the date setting direction being different, I personally think there is no need to worry too much. There is no problem with the date font; but in thickness PPF looks a little thinner, the shape of the font matches the original.

PPF did not skimp on the material and used the same number of parts as the original; Since the main plate belongs to the internal structure, the differences in appearance are insignificant.

Case and Body Workmanship

Classic octagonal bezel, with brushed workmanship on the front; When you turn the back side, the workmanship is still very nice.

The polished and brushed workmanship of the case back is meticulously done, and the chamfering on the surrounding area is fine.

It has a black waterproof seal inside; It prevents dust and water from entering from outside.

There is a hinged shoulder design on both sides of the crown; The PPF is identical to the original in terms of format and spacing. The inspiration for this hinged shoulder design comes from the locking structure of the porthole window on oceangoing cruise ships of that period; It was used to secure the upper and lower case layers. Today, it still serves the same function of fixing the case and has been carried over to the present day as a feature of the series. There is Patek Philippe's cross logo on the crown; PPF carving workmanship is quite on point. Since the crown has a screw-on type design, it effectively ensures water resistance. The user who wants to set the time and date can unlock the crown by turning it counterclockwise, and lock it by pushing it clockwise after the setting. The case made of stainless steel is sturdy, durable and resistant to wear and scratches.

The PPF strap uses a completely revised stainless steel bracelet; The hinge part was developed by disassembling and examining the real Patek Philippe Nautilus stainless steel bracelet, giving the same fitting effect as the original and surpassing all previous copies. The opening and closing angle of the hinge is the same as the original, the locking sound is the same as the original. The connecting parts of the bracelet also have a round shape within a square and a polished texture; The bracelet itself has a brushed texture. The bracelet is made with brushed workmanship, feels light and thin; However, the connecting piece of each ring is in round shape and polished texture within the square.
