Dial and Hand Details

First of all, I am sharing with you PPF Nautilus white dial real-replica comparison review; GEN (original) on the left, replica on the right.

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

Glass and Sapphire Crystal

Sapphire crystal glass is used in the same way as the original; It is clear and bright, allowing us to easily read the dial information.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Horizontal striped ornament is used; PPF retains the overall sense of depth of the original dial and does not look monotonous. When we zoom in on the dial, the original looks thinner in terms of texture grains. PPF has also been very careful in the details of the black-coated hour markers; There is an oily shine. The 12 o'clock stick marker is right in the middle and looks neat, and the black of the date window frame is that shiny, oily kind. PPF in all details on the dial maintains the same level as the original, the workmanship is flawless.

In macro shooting, the original looks noticeably rougher than the PPF; but this is only true at multiple magnifications, it is difficult to distinguish from normal distance.

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

There doesn't seem to be much difference between PPF and the original; whether stick signs or English letters.

Black coated hour and minute hands; It is processed extremely perfectly, whether in terms of length, shortness, size or 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 a one-piece movement version, its basis is still 9015; Only the bridge has been removed. So there is still an inconsistency in the date setting function, that is, the date order is different: in the original, the numbers from 1 to 31 are sorted counterclockwise, while in PPF they are sorted clockwise. This is a limitation imposed by the mechanism function. As for the date setting direction being different, I personally think there is no need to worry too much. As for the date font, there is no problem, but in terms of thickness, PPF seems a little thinner; The font shape is correct.

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

Case and Body Workmanship

Classic octagonal bezel, with brushed workmanship on the front; When we 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.

There is a black waterproof seal inside; It prevents external dust and water from entering.

There is a hinged shoulder design on both sides of the crown; PPF maintains the same level as the original in terms of shape and space. The inspiration for the hinged shoulder comes from the lock structure of the porthole window on oceangoing cruise ships of that period; It was used to fix the upper and lower case parts, and today it still serves the same function of fixing the case and is a characteristic of the series. There is Patek Philippe's cross logo on the crown; PPF is pretty spot on. The crown has a screw-down design, which ensures effective water resistance. When the user wants to set the time and date, they can unlock the lock by turning the crown counterclockwise; After adjustment, it can be locked by pushing it clockwise. The case made of stainless steel is sturdy, durable and resistant to wear and scratches.

The PPF strap uses a completely renewed stainless steel bracelet; The hinge part was developed by disassembling and examining the real Patek Philippe Nautilus stainless steel bracelet, it has the exact same fitting effect as the original and surpasses all previous copies. The opening and closing angle of the hinge is the same as the original, and the locking sound is the same as the original. The connecting parts of the bracelet have a mixture of square and round shape and a polished texture, while the bracelet itself has a brushed texture. The bracelet is crafted with brushed workmanship, feels light and thin; However, the fittings in each link are a mixture of square and round and have a polished texture.
