Okay, so I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a decent replica of the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5320G-011 for a while now. I mean, who wouldn’t? That thing is a beauty. But the real deal? Forget about it, way out of my price range. So, I started looking into replicas, and let me tell you, it’s a jungle out there.
I spent hours, maybe even days, browsing through different forums and websites, reading reviews, comparing pictures, the whole nine yards. It’s tough because you see so many different versions, and it’s hard to tell what’s good and what’s just, well, crap. Some of these sites look sketchy as hell, too, so you gotta be careful.
Finally, I came across this one particular factory, they call it the “Original Order” factory, or something like that. I saw a few posts about them, and people seemed to be pretty happy with the quality. They were saying the detail was on point, and the movement was pretty solid, too. They kept going on about their attention to detail. Sounded promising, anyway.
So, I decided to take the plunge. I found a dealer that carried their stuff, contacted them, and placed an order. I was a little nervous, not gonna lie. I mean, you’re sending money to some random person on the internet, hoping they actually send you something back. It’s a bit of a gamble.
The waiting was the worst part. Every day I’d be checking my email, hoping for a tracking number. Then, finally, it arrived! I ripped open the package like a kid on Christmas morning. And you know what? I was pretty damn impressed.
First off, the weight felt right. It wasn’t some flimsy, cheap-feeling thing. It had some heft to it, just like the real deal, I imagine. Then I started looking at the details. The dial, the hands, the case, everything looked really well-made. The engraving was clean, the finishing was smooth, and the perpetual calendar function seems to work flawlessly. Even the moon phase is accurate, I checked.
- Weight: Feels substantial and not cheap.
- Dial: Very detailed and clean, just like the pictures I saw online.
- Hands: The shape and finish are spot on.
- Case: Polished nicely, no rough edges or anything.
- Functions: Perpetual calendar and moon phase seem to be working as they should.
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I haven’t had any issues. It keeps time well, and I’ve gotten a few compliments on it, too. Of course, I don’t go around telling people it’s a replica, but it’s nice to know that it looks good enough to fool some people.
My Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase. It’s definitely the best replica Patek Philippe I’ve come across. It’s not perfect, of course. There are probably some tiny differences if you compare it side-by-side with a genuine one, but for the price, I think it’s a great deal. If you’re looking for a high-quality replica of the 5320G-011, I’d definitely recommend checking out this “Original Order” version. Just do your research, find a reputable dealer, and be prepared to wait a little while for it to arrive. But trust me, it’s worth it!
