Patek Philippe Nautilus 5719 PPF Factory Review

Patek Philippe Nautilus 5719 model is produced by PPF Factory with a solid stainless steel case, 40 mm diameter and integrated Clone Caliber 324 SC 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.

Case and Body Workmanship

Known as the king of steel watches, this model not only adheres to the traditional classical design, but also takes into account contemporary fashion trends and aesthetics. Sparkling diamonds add extra elegance and ostentation to the watch, revealing a work of art that reaches its peak with exquisite craftsmanship.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Snowflake nailing technique was used on the case and strap. This pinning technique requires very high skill; By placing diamonds of different diameters together, stonemasons eliminate the appearance of gold through the diamonds as much as possible. Thus, the watch shines brightly, elegance and mastery show themselves in all their glory.

It has a case diameter of 40 mm and a date display. Sapphire glass, 316 stainless steel case is used and the entire watch is covered with VS quality real diamonds. The inspiration for that iconic case design is the locking mechanism in the portholes of cruise ships. The small ears on both sides of the case are among the most distinctive features of Nautilus; Hinged shoulders that protrude slightly on each side secure the two-piece case. The fact that it is produced in a 1:1 ratio with the original reveals fineness and mastery.

Dial and Hand Details

First of all, I present to you PPF Nautilus white dial real-replica comparative review; The GEN on the left is real, the one on the right is a replica.

At the end of the article you will find real shot photos of the Nautilus with star-covered dial.

Glass and Sapphire Crystal

Sapphire crystal glass is used in the same way as the original; Being clear and bright allows us to easily read the information on the dial.

Horizontal striped ornament is used; PPF preserves the overall sense of depth of the original dial, preventing the surface from appearing monotonous. When we enlarge the dial, the original looks a little more finely crafted in terms of grain on the texture. PPF has been extremely meticulous in the details of the black-coated hour markers; It almost has an oily sheen. The stick marker at 12 o'clock is right in the middle and looks neat, and the black frame of the date window has that oily shine. PPF has maintained consistency with the original in all details on the dial surface; The workmanship is perfect.

It is noticeable that in macro shooting the original looks noticeably thicker than the PPF, but this is only true at very high magnifications; It is difficult to distinguish from normal distance.

In the rounded corner date window design, the black frame retains the oily sheen of the original; The detail work is quite spot on.

There does not appear to be any difference between PPF and the original, whether in bar markings or 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 switched to a one-piece movement version, its basis is still the 9015; only the bridge plate has been removed. So the date setting function is still not consistent, 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 a limitation imposed by the mechanism function. As for the date setting direction being different, I personally think there is no need to dwell on it. There is no problem in terms of date font, but in terms of thickness, PPF seems a little thinner; The font shape is correct.

PPF did not restrict the material and used the same number of parts as the original. Since the main plate belongs to the internal structure, the difference in external appearance does not matter.

The classic octagonal bezel is decorated with brushed workmanship on the front. When we turn the back side, we see that the workmanship is still quite beautiful.

The polished and brushed workmanship on the case back has been done with great care; The surrounding chamfer engravings are also finely processed.

Inside, there is a black waterproof seal that prevents external dust and water from entering.

There is a hinged shoulder design on both sides of the crown; PPF maintains consistency with the original in terms of shape and spacing. The hinged shoulder was inspired by the porthole locking mechanism on oceangoing cruise ships of that period; It was used to fix the lower and upper case parts. Today it still functions to stabilize the case and also remains a distinctive feature of the series. There is a Patek Philippe cross logo on the crown; PPF nailed this quite aptly. Thanks to the screw-down crown design, water resistance is effectively ensured. When the user wants to set the time and date, he can unlock the crown by turning it counterclockwise, and then lock it again by pushing it clockwise after the setting. The case made of stainless steel is sturdy, durable and resistant to wear and scratches.

PPF has used a completely revised stainless steel bracelet on the strap. The hinge part was developed by removing a genuine Patek Philippe Nautilus stainless steel bracelet; It has the same seating 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 identical to the original. The connecting parts of the bracelet have an angular but rounded form and a polished texture, while the bracelet itself has a brushed texture. The bracelet is produced with brushed workmanship; Its texture is light and thin, but the connecting part of each ring is in angular-round form and polished texture.

Paved with white diamonds. By placing diamonds of different diameters together, our stonemasons eliminate the appearance of gold through the diamonds as much as possible. The diamonds are arranged extremely regularly, there are no gaps between them and the overall appearance is very successful. In this form, it looks several steps superior to some similar models. Expectations regarding diamond setting workmanship and the selection of quality diamond raw materials are quite high. Because any imperfection in the drilling process will not only spoil the visual effect of the setting, but also cause irreversible damage to the watch itself.

When the light source, whether artificial light or natural light, refracts on diamonds, they look even brighter. Unfortunately, the camera filters out some of the dazzling shine of real diamonds.

Movement and Caliber Performance

The main upgrade in this v3 version has been made in the mechanism; The bridge plate mechanism was removed and their own developed 324 one-piece mechanism was used. Thus, the thickness was reduced slightly. The shock absorber has also been transformed from a triangular type to a horseshoe type shock absorber that matches the original. Stone colors are also more vibrant, pure and crystal clear. The lantern emblem on the rotor is also deeper and three-dimensional.

Every detail on the bracelet and buckle has been processed with great care; The opening and closing angle of the hinge is the same as the original, and the locking sound of the buckle is also the same as the original.

Nowadays, diamonds are not only sought after by women; Many men are also gradually changing their view that diamonds belong only to women. Many international high-end brands, including jewelry and watches, have now begun to design diamond-set rings and watches specifically for men. This star-covered dial from Patek Philippe, studded with diamonds throughout, is the ultimate dream of countless watch enthusiasts.
