Patek Philippe Unveils The Split-Seconds Monopusher Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Fake Watches Ref. 5373P-001 UK For Sale

Although left-handed people only make up about 10% of the total population, there has been quite a lot of attention on left-handed Swiss made replica watches this year, and adding to the list of left-handed models released by blue-chip luxury manufacturers in 2022 is a new split-seconds monopusher chronograph with a perpetual calendar from 1:1 UK Patek Philippe fake watches. Inspired by a one-of-a-kind piece with a cushion-shaped case that was created by the brand in 1927, the new Patek Philippe Split-Seconds Monopusher Chronograph Perpetual Calendar ref. 5373P-001 reimagines the existing ref. 3572 with an inverted dial layout and pusher configuration to create a unique timepiece with a solid platinum case that is specifically designed to be worn on the right-hand wrists of left-handed people.

Just like the reference 3572 that serves as its foundation, the case of the new left-handed Patek Philippe ref. 5373P-001 Split-Seconds Monopusher Chronograph replica watches wholesale with Perpetual Calendar measures 38.3mm in diameter by 12.93mm-thick. However, the solid 950 platinum case has essentially been rotated 180 degrees, so that its crown (complete with integrated monopusher chronograph button) now resides at the 9 o’clock location, while the pusher for its split-seconds function now sits at the rather unusual 8 o’clock position on the side of the case. Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal, which is surrounded by a thin concave bezel that has been given a high-polish finish. Although the tops and bottoms of the lugs receive a mirror polish to match the bezel, the sides of the case feature a contrasting horizontal satin finish that adds to the watch’s relatively sporty overall aesthetic.

Just like all of Patek Philippe’s solid platinum copy watches online, the new ref. 5373P-001 includes a small brilliant-cut diamond set into the side of the case between the lugs, and while this detail normally appears on the 6 o’clock side of the watch, it is set between the lugs on the 12 o’clock side of the new left-handed reference 5373P-001. A sapphire display caseback is the standard option fitted to the watch since it will allow you to observe the beautifully finished manual-wind movement; however, top replica Patek Philippe watches also includes an additional solid-platinum caseback that can be engraved and swapped onto the watch if desired by the customer. Lastly, completing the new ref. 5373P-001 and fitted to its 20mm lugs is a black calfskin leather strap that features an embossed textile pattern with bright red contrast stitching and a solid platinum fold-over clasp.

Just like the case, the dial of the new best fake Patek Philippe Split-Seconds Monopusher Chronograph Perpetual Calendar ref. 5373P-001 watches has also been inverted 180 degrees. Rather than having a 3-6-9 layout for the sub-dials with the moonphase complication at the 12 o’clock location, the new left-handed Patek Philippe ref. 5373P-001 super clone watches paypal features the exact opposite configuration, with the moonphase now at 6 o’clock. Even the small day/night indicator and display for the leap year cycle have swapped places and now appear on the upper half of the dial. The surface of the dial is a charcoal gray color with a gradient effect that darkens towards the outer edges, and while the majority of the dial has been given a vertical satin finish, the trio of registers is ebony-black in color with a grooved snailed pattern. Applied Arabic numerals and faceted Dauphine hour and minute hands indicate the time, while the three chronograph hands are varnished bright red for maximum legibility. Regardless of the fact that it is packing some serious high-end complications, the colors of the dial give the new ref. 5373P-001 an inherently sporty overall aesthetic that simply does not exist among the various versions of the ref. 5372.

Despite its inverted layout, the new Patek Philippe Split-Seconds Monopusher Chronograph Perpetual Calendar ref. 5373P-001 is powered by the same manually-wound Caliber CHR 27-525 PS Q mechanical movement that can be found inside the brand’s ref. 5372 replica watches store. A column wheel-controlled split-seconds chronograph with a 60-minute totalizer, the Cal. CHR 27-525 PS Q also offers a perpetual calendar with day, month, leap-year cycle, and day/night indicator apertures, along with an analog date indicated by the sub-dial at 12 o’clock, and a highly accurate moon phase display that deviates by just one day every 122 years. Running at a frequency of 21,600vph (3Hz) and offering users a power reserve of up to 48 hours (when the chronograph is not in use), the Cal. CHR 27-525 PS Q is now exclusively available inside the new left-handed ref. 5373P-001, since Patek Philippe has discontinued both versions of the ref. 5372 that were also powered by this feature-packed movement.

Although the ref. 5373 could essentially be seen as a replacement for the ref. 5372, the two models are significantly different perfect fake watches. Aside from the whole left-handed configuration and the inverted layout, the new ref. 5373P-001 has an undeniably more sporty appearance, swapping out traditional dial colors for bright splashes of red and the shiny alligator strap of its predecessor for a textured leather strap with matching red contrasting stitching. At the same time, despite the new model’s radically different aesthetic, the left-handed reference 5373P-001 is essentially the same watch as its predecessor, just rotated 180 degrees, and this is likely the reason why the diamond set into the side of its case appears between the lugs on the 12 o’clock side, rather than in the normal position on the opposite side of the watch. While the hour markers, text, and even the shape of the moonphase display have all been inverted so that they appear in their normal orientations, the core design of the dial is essentially just the upside-down version of the one fitted to the recently discontinued ref. 5372. As for how much it will cost to add the new left-handed ref. 5373P-001 replica watches shop site to your collection, the brand has declined to disclose the price for the new watch, but just the name of the new model alone should be enough to tell you that it will likely cost a six-figure sum: “Patek Philippe Split-Seconds Monopusher Chronograph Perpetual Calendar” — literally every single one of those words sounds expensive, and the fact that it is crafted from solid platinum only makes that statement even more true.

Behind The Lens: Cheap UK Replica Patek Philippe Advanced Research Reference 5550P Perpetual Calendar Watches

Welcome to a new installment of “Behind the Lens,” the ongoing series of articles in which I share some of my watch photos and talk a bit about both the best UK replica watches in question and my approach to capturing them visually.

The best thing for me about this series is that most of the 1:1 Swiss fake watches I shoot belong to my good friends, who are kind enough to allow me to photograph their precious pieces – and who generally encourage me to wear them around a bit as well.

This time, our subject is the high quality replica Patek Philippe Advanced Research Reference 5550P watches, a truly lovely perpetual calendar with some interesting technical twists.

If you’re like me, the first thing you noticed was that dial! Just on the golden side of silver with captivating vertical brushing that catches the light differently in various conditions and positions.

It’s clear to me that a great deal of thought has gone into the visual elements of the front of this luxury copy watches, which combines classical elements like the domed and sharply pointed minor hands with more technical aspects like the lume-filled hour and minute hands and dots at the hours.

The chevron-shaped markers appear to float just slightly above the dial surface itself, adding additional interest.

To me, this perfect replica watches online is a great example of not necessarily needing to be thick to give a sensation of depth.

Seen straight on and lit from the side, the main dial takes on more of a matte appearance, but we are treated with clear views of the grooved and frosted subdials and the beautiful frosted moon and stars as they catch the light.

Something that I particularly like about this dial layout is that the numbers 31 and 1 on the calendar display are visible in their entirety.

On some Patek Philippe fake watches wholesale (for example, Reference 5205, a watch that I mostly love) the lower subdial is crowded up toward the center of the watch, with the result that the top numerals are obscured. Not so here.

In addition, take a quick look at the date numerals 5 and 27 – they are a bit smaller than the others in order to fit in. But Swiss movements Patek Philippe replica watches has also done something very clever with the surrounding numerals: see how they taper in size as they approach the 5 and the 27?

This use of perspective actually tricks the eye when the watch is seen in life size; it wasn’t until I reviewed the macro photos that I noticed that all of the date numerals were not the same height.

Depth of field: focus stacking

Now for something completely different! This sharp-angle view gives us a real sense for the dimensionality of the minor hands and baton markers, and to be honest was just plain fun to create.

In macro photography, one challenge is depth of field: at these distances and magnifications, the slice of space in front of the camera that is actually in focus is very thin. In addition to artistic intent, this is one reason why so many macro photos of top Swiss made fake watches have one tiny area in focus and the rest recedes into a blur.

To make an image like this one, we use “focus stacking,” which is nothing more than taking multiple photographs of the watch with different slices in focus and then using the miracle of software to stitch together all of the sharpest pixels.

It takes a while to learn focus stacking, and the results aren’t foolproof (translation: I’ve spent hours taking tedious series of photos of a given set-up only to find that the stitched-together images look awful). At its best, it allows us get these sorts of outer space encounters with the replica watches shop site we love.

While looking, be sure to notice more of the details that make the dial side of this watch special: the curves and angled platforms of the minor hands, the radially beveled edges of the applied markers, and the brushing on the vertical edge of the moon phase aperture stand out to me.

Also, in this image you can see how subtle the brushing on the main dial really is, and how from some perspectives it almost vanishes. My experience in photographing this super clone watches paypal was that it was very easy to over-light the dial, overpowering the appearance of the brushing – to me perhaps the most appealing bit of this dial.

The photo above might be my favorite of this watch due to its dramatic presentation of the piece. It’s actually a single photo, not a focus stack, yielding an image that has more of a live look to me than most stacks.

There’s also that light scatter thrown from the top of the crystal. Believe it or not, I spent a couple of years teaching myself how to eliminate light scatter from 2021 replica watches photos, only to have to learn how to put it back in!

I had to grudgingly admit that many of my very sharp, scatter-free images were just a teensy bit, shall we say, sterile. The judicious use of directional lighting (in this and many other cases I actually use a small hand-held flashlight) adds a sense of depth and contrast that’s just not possible otherwise.

The AAA fake Patek Philippe 5550P watches from a technical perspective

One thing that we haven’t considered yet is the inscription on the dial: “Advanced Research.” In this movement view, the reason for that title becomes clear, and in case you needed a hint, the nice folks at Patek Philippe have kindly provided a built-in sapphire magnifying glass to draw your eye to the right spot.

Incorporated into the base Caliber 240 micro-rotor movement is the Oscillomax silicon escapement, in turn made up of three sub-systems: the GyromaxSi balance wheel, the Pulsomax escape wheel and lever, and the Spiromax balance spring.

When it comes to best quality Patek Philippe replica watches’ use of silicon components on this piece and others, I’m of two minds.

Patek does make well-considered arguments for the use of silicon in the balance and escapement: immunity to magnetic forces; the ability to place more relative mass on the outer edge of the balance, which increases stability through higher angular momentum; the ability to shape the escape wheel and pallet fork in very precise ways that improve the efficiency of the China fake watches’ rate; and the elimination of the need for lubrication.

All good stuff, and measurable in an increase of almost 50 percent in the power reserve, from 48 to 70 hours when compared to a standard Caliber 240.

The silicon-enhanced movement also keeps more consistent time than the standard version as the mainspring goes from fully wound to unwound.

At the same time, I have considerable sympathy for the arguments of watchmakers who note that (at least in today’s world) silicon parts are the result of an industrial process and cannot be replicated using traditional watchmaking techniques.

While future owners of these replica Patek Philippe watches for sale may not have to worry too much about the availability of these very specific spare parts, there is something about the potential “non-replaceability” of key components of a watch that gives me a bit of pause.

More important to me is the question of coherence: do these particular silicon parts fit into the otherwise very traditional perpetual calendar that is the 5550P? Here, I’m not so sure.

Patek Philippe’s more recent use of silicon in sports fake watches store such as the Reference 5990 Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph and the Reference 5200 Gondolo 8 Days, in which the longer power reserve the silicon enables is integral to the concept of the watch, seems more in character to me than the use of silicon components in the 5550P.

And I have to confess that I’m not a fan of that sapphire “Cyclops” magnifier over the 5550’s balance.

To offer a more extreme example, the introduction of silicon escapement wheels in the Ulysse Nardin Freak, with its unique movement architecture, seemed the most natural thing in the world to me; dropping silicon parts into the very traditional Patek Philippe Caliber 240 architecture, despite the apparent functional benefits, seems more jarring.

From a collector’s perspective, it seems quite likely that this first-ever appearance of a full silicon balance and escapement system in top quality Patek Phillipe replica watches will turn out to be an enduring landmark; from this collector’s perspective, however, I’m attracted first and foremost by the beauty of the dial side of the watch.

Getting back to the photography, I hope you will agree that the judicious use of scattered light, in this instance thrown from the left side, seems to work just fine for movement shots as well.

All good things, as they say, must come to an end. In this case, I returned the 5550P to its generous owner, and until I see it again I have these photos to remember it by – as, now, do you!
