The perfect UK replica Patek Philippe Quadruple Complication ref. 5308G-001 watches is a stunning-looking timepiece but with a price tag well beyond what most of us could spare. Let’s take a look.
Today’s Quadruple Complication ref. 5308G-001 is entering Patek Philippe’s regular catalog. Originally, the Quadruple Complication debuted as a limited-edition platinum fake watches for sale during 2023’s “Watch Art” Tokyo Grand Exhibition. This new regular-production version, however, comes in white gold. It offers a minute-repeater, a split-seconds chronograph featuring two patented mechanisms, and a perpetual calendar. The top 2025 copy watches comes in a 42mm size but has a price tag of more than a million euros!
A rather thick but exceptional watch by Patek
The Patek Philippe Quadruple Complication ref. 5308G-001 is also noticeably thick. It comes in at 17.71mm, which is chunky by any standard. The case has a concave bezel and skeletonized lugs. Interestingly, Patek says the high quality replica watches will come with two interchangeable case backs, one with sapphire crystal offering a view of the movement and the other in solid white gold.
The Maison says the case is not water resistant but will withstand humidity and dust. Fittingly for a watch of this level, all exterior surfaces are polished by hand. The cheap 1:1 fake watches comes on a blue alligator leather strap with a white gold triple-blade folding clasp.
The Patek Philippe Quadruple Complication
Patek Philippe super clone watches for men opted for an ice-blue dial with a sunburst finish. It features blued white gold applied hour markers with a dauphine-style handset on top. The Maison says that given the number of complications, the dial’s design required a focus on clarity. As part of this, the perpetual calendar’s day, date, and month windows appear in an arc between 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock. Each has a blued white gold frame, partly to create contrast for legibility. Additional openings at 8 o’clock and 4 o’clock provide a day/night indicator and a leap-year cycle.
Caliber R CHR 27 PS QI sits within the 42mm case. It has 67 jewels and a 38–48-hour power reserve. This 10-hour difference is based on how many complications are used. Luxury Patek Philippe replica watches says that there are 80 extra components for the split-seconds function within this new movement, but these only add an extra 1.93mm in thickness. The total number of components in the movement is 799.
Concluding thoughts
Patek says the integration of a split-seconds chronograph function was a technical challenge. To offset the energy drain that such a complication requires, 2025 online copy Patek Philippe watches increased the barrel spring’s torque and used a platinum micro-rotor for even more efficient winding. The chronograph engages via the pusher at the 2 o’clock position, which also allows the wearer to stop and reset it. Another pusher at 4 controls the split-seconds function. The minute repeater utilizes two gongs and is activated by a slide at 9 o’clock. Every chime is personally approved by Thierry Stern, apparently to ensure the “Patek sound.” Finally, the instantaneous perpetual calendar allows all displays to jump precisely within 30 milliseconds. Two patented mechanisms ensure smooth transitions, even with just 10 hours of power reserve remaining.
The “Code” is growing on me. It wasn’t exactly love at first sight, to put it mildly. Still, with time and, more importantly, some much-needed significant cosmetic changes, I’m warming up to the perfect UK replica watches that wasn’t just hindered by a seemingly lazy dial design and somewhat ridiculous name. Last year, I had a most pleasant experience with an automatic model in pink gold with a blue dial, and this year, things got even more intense when I encountered the new 41mm Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding in gray. Man, this steel three-hander’s got the looks. But it also has some je ne sais quois that has me contemplating the Code. Could it be an entry point into the AP universe, or do you always need to start with a Royal Oak? It’s just one of the questions I’m still trying to find an answer to.
Let’s explore the best AAA fake watches before pondering the eventual acquisition of a Code and its possible consequences. The Code has come a long way since its 2019 debut. The three-hand Selfwinding, especially, has undergone a remarkable metamorphosis. It went from an ugly duckling to something closer to a swan. The various bland dials with four lonesome Arabic numerals, off-balance 4:30 date window, and alarmingly skinny hands are all gone. Indexes have taken over, the date moved to 3 o’clock, the hands have been replaced with more voluptuous, skeletonized ones, and the dials now show a dynamic pattern you could mistake for guilloché. Instead, it’s a stamped dial with a ripple pattern. “Stamped” sounds less luxurious than “guilloché,” but the pattern designed by Yann von Kaenel, an independent engine-turning specialist, does look rich and luscious. The new 41mm Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding in gray is the best version yet.
The 41mm Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding from all angles
Last year, I was smitten by 41mm pink gold Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding pictured above. Two things stood in the way of a possible purchase, though. Reference 15210OR.OO.A348KB.01 has a lofty €35,600 price (the most hindering obstacle by far), and I believe rose gold and blue, while attractive, are not a combination I would enjoy for a long time.
There were, however, so many elements that struck a chord — the proportions, for instance. The 41 × 50 × 10.7mm case perfectly suits my wrist. The construction of the said case is also quite something. You will only experience and fully enjoy it when you handle the high quality copy watches in real life; in pictures, it just doesn’t come across. The case is like a sandwich in which the bezel and the back hold the octagonal mid-case. The open-worked lugs are welded against the bezel; they touch the case back but are not welded to it. Importantly, the brushed and polished finishing of the case and lugs is at a very high level, and so are details like the hexagonal screws for the strap.
Another element that sets the Code apart is the double-curved crystal. Its shape mixes a classic convex circle on the underside and a vertical curve from 12 to 6 o’clock on the top. The crystal simultaneously offers an undeformed view of the dial from the top and, at some angles, puts on a show of magical distortion. But when you see a frontal picture of a Code, its case’s complicated construction and execution and the dynamically shaped crystal go unnoticed, leading to an almost instant misunderstanding and underestimation of the cheap replica watches UK.
This Code is giving me Tetris Syndrome
Since I wore the new gray Code during the 150th-anniversary celebrations earlier this year at the Audemars Piguet HQ in Le Brassus, this fake watches for sale has been on my mind. This steel Code is giving me a mild form of Tetris Syndrome. This effect or syndrome, named after the famous video game, can occur when you dedicate vast amounts of time, effort, and thoughts to something. As a result, the preoccupation with that thing — in this case, a watch — can lead to it altering thoughts, (day)dreams, and other experiences not directly linked to it. The gray Code keeps popping up in my thoughts at unexpected moments, and I keep wondering what would happen if I acquired one. At the same time, however, I can’t quite visualize myself owning and wearing one.
The material aspects of the watch don’t seem to stand in the way of me manifesting the Swiss movements super clone watches on my wrist. Not only are the proportions just right, but so are the colors. The gray is serious yet fresh and sporty as well. It’s informal, but the stamped, ripple-like pattern also gives it a dose of formal gravitas. And then there’s the “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” flange. Not only is this an iconic “AP” shade, but there is also just enough of it on the elevated flange to brighten the gray dial.
Dressed for the occasion
The three-hand Code is the perfect everyday watch for this day and age. The irritatingly vague dress codes “casual chic” and “business casual” suddenly make perfect sense when you look at this watch. It offers a classic shape with a twist in a contemporary size and with a strap that is the equivalent of hand-made sneakers. This gray rubber-coated strap, which has a 22–20mm taper and shows a delicate texture, is sporty and elegant. The strap ties the top 2025 replica Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 watches together, so to speak. It helps match the watch with a Hawaiian, denim, button-down, or dress shirt. The pin buckle AP decided to use also deserves a mention and praise. It’s a well-made and easy-to-use alternative to a needlessly complicated folding clasp that gives you a false sense of luxury.
A Code 11.59 instead of a Royal Oak — is that even possible?
So, where does my hesitation for acquiring the gray-dial Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding come from? Well, first, there’s the price. You don’t spend €26,600 on a watch on a whim. Well, I sure don’t. There’s also the matter of other luxury fake watches in the AP collection. Can your first AP be something else than a Royal Oak? When looking at comparable prices, it’s slim pickings. There’s the 37mm Royal Oak Selfwinding ref. 15550ST.OO.1356ST.06, a watch that is reasonably close in price. But when I spend €27,300 on a Royal Oak, a watch with iconic status, I don’t want to constantly feel like it’s too small for my wrist. I know that will happen because I tried it on, and it didn’t feel right.
Theoretical vs. practical
Sizing and pricing up to the 41mm Royal Oak Selfwinding ref.15510ST.OO.1320ST.06 is also not an option. That €28,500 replica watches wholesale is not just too big, but it also constantly tells you the Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin ref. 16202ST.OO.1240ST.02 is “The One.” It’s also a watch with a theoretical price of €35,900. The practical Chrono24 price of this unavailable watch is, on average, €30K higher.
What about the Royal Oak Offshore Diver ref. 15720ST.OO.A009CA.01? Yes, I’ve had a soft spot for the “ROO” Diver ever since it came out. But the bulky €30,300 dive watch is also limited. It’s not exactly a versatile timepiece that goes well with anything and never looks out of place. And that leads me back to the new 41mm Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding. With its gray dial, blue flange, and darker gray strap, this Swiss perfect copy watches perfectly fits my wrist and wardrobe. I’m also more than happy with the 257-part automatic caliber 4302 that beats inside the case. This in-house 4Hz movement offers a 70-hour power reserve, and it’s nicely decorated, as the see-through case back reveals.
The heart wants what the heart wants
There you have it. After looking at it from multiple perspectives and angles, the new Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding in gray is the perfect China replica watches for me. It’s weird to fall for a watch you went from disliking to loving and desiring, being willing to spend a small fortune on it, and ignoring an icon like the Royal Oak. I might need more time before the steel and gray Code and I tie the knot, but the love between us is much more than an infatuation; there’s real love here.
If Liverpool “This means more” FC had to rebrand this season, Mo Salah FC would be a fitting option. The striker is the most important (and most feared) player in the world right, scoring the most goals in Europe’s top five leagues. Add his numerous assists which have massively contributed to the club’s killer form this season and surely his first Ballon d’Or is pending.
He’s also a leader – as well as a fitness addict and trendsetter – off the pitch. Like when Liverpool beat Manchester City 2-0 win to put the Reds 11 points clear at the top of the league, perennial Liverpool hater Gary Neville suggested Salah would be leading from the front by “warning his less experienced teammates not to get carried away, but with goosebumps and a feeling of such excitement.”
We’ve recently clocked that said giddy, feelgood vibes extend to his wrist game too. Take the team’s one nil victory over Paris Saint Germain, for example. Touching down in Paris, the Liverpool squad exhibited some killer kettles. Ibrahima Konate wore Patek Philippe’s beefy 45mm Cubitus, while Cody Gakpo kept things classic and speedy with a Daytona. And for Salah it was the chance to drop the ultimate perfect 1:1 replica Audemars Piguet watches flex, the kind of wrist check you’re only the best players in the world should be qualified to rock.
Salah wore the Swiss made fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked watches (ref 26585CE.OO.1225CE.0), a stealthy skeletonised beast from the Swiss watchmaker which is currently celebrates its 150th anniversary. Boasting a very swish black ceramic case and bracelet, this openworked high quality copy watches offers a look at some tasty AP magic. It reveals the meticulous watchmaking used in its perpetual calendar function, with a week, day and date indication as well as a moonphase which counts months and leap years. And for some extra time-telling goodness, the hour markers made from sexy rose gold.
This is the kind of crazy horology AP does really well. And make no mistake, it’s really hard to produce, which is why its best AAA replica watches are firmly in the holy grail tier. AP limits production numbers of all models to around 50,000 annually, compared to the millions produced by its competitors. But Salah’s ceramic openworked Royal Oak is as limited as it is complex, which is to say very, so you won’t see too many in the wild. Like Salah’s contract negotiations, this super clone watches wholesale UK is very complicated, it’s insanely hard to get, and comes with a price tag north of £300k on the secondary market – roughly the weekly wage people reckon Salah should be on.
While we can’t say for sure, we reckon the influence of Salah’s captain might be behind his latest wrist check because Virgil Van Dijk is known for his love of luxury Audemars Piguet replica watches. He has been spotted rocking a stainless steel Royal Oak, the limited edition Travis Scott Royal Oak ‘Cactus Jack’, and an exclusive ‘Spiderman’ tourbillon. For two guys who spend a lot of time on and off the pitch together, looks like copy watches for men could have become a bit of a talking point in the dressing room.
Set against a Parisian sunset backdrop en route to one of the biggest match ups of the season, Mo Salah might not have scored on the night – but he still dropped a world-class watch flex, duly cementing him – and his cheap AAA Audemars Piguet Royal Oak fake watches – in a champion’s league of their own.
About a year ago, when Audemars Piguet held its yearly event to present its new collection, the brand introduced a highly appealing version of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Selfwinding, made with artist and seasoned collector John Mayer. Besides the incredibly textured dial, AP issued a highly important statement. This AAA Swiss replica watches marked the swan song of the calibre 5134, becoming the last watch to feature the movement based on the calibre that once powered the 1972 Royal Oak. Well, without further ado, let’s go straight to the point: here’s the new generation of Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Selfwinding (ref. 26674), inaugurating the calibre 7138, a very clever movement that is a clear step up compared to the old calibre. A great way to mark the beginning of AP’s 150th-anniversary celebrations.
Modern mechanics, the new Calibre 7138
Perpetual calendars are a long tradition at Audemars Piguet. Notably, in 1955, the company released the world’s first perpetual calendar wristwatch with a leap year indication, nine examples of which were created between 1955 and 1957. About 20 years later, in 1978 and at the height of the quartz crisis, AP released the world’s thinnest self-winding perpetual calendar fake watches for sale of its time, calibre 2120/2800, obtaining its thinness thanks to a combination of the ultra-thin calibre 2120 and a slender QP module. And now comes the important part for today’s topic, the release in 1984 of the first Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar (ref. 5554), which relied on this movement – and actually, the original 1972 Royal Oak Jumbo 5402ST used the same base calibre – a movement that was in production until 2022.
In 2015, Audemars Piguet released the calibre 5134. This movement, still using the 2120 as a base, introduced a new module adapted to a larger 41mm case diameter, as well as inaugurating the original display of the week on its periphery. This movement powered dozens of cheap 1:1 copy watches – RO and Code – including the all-important full ceramic versions (black, white, openworked, blue…) until AP announced its retirement last year with the release of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar John Mayer Limited Edition. But in the meantime, AP did its homework and, in 2018, released the Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin, known as RD#2 – the world’s thinnest automatic perpetual calendar wristwatch of its time. The main objective here was thinness and convenience, with all the perpetual calendar functions on one single level, as well as offering an intuitive, user-friendly complication that can be set and corrected anywhere without tools.
In 2022, Audemars Piguet celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak by presenting the new generation of Jumbo, the 16202ST. And while its looks were hardly updated, the mechanics inside jumped into the 21st century with the new calibre 7121 – still automatic, still ultra-thin, now working at 4Hz, with a longer power reserve and finally a quick-set date.
Now, in 2025, it’s time for the high quality replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Selfwinding watches to enter a new generation, benefitting from the upgrades of both the calibre 7121 and the research done with the RD#2 concept. This brand new generation of a self-winding perpetual calendar movement, calibre 7138, enters with modern features such as an all-important all-in-one crown. And that means no more correctors inserted into the case side. These correctors to adjust the different sub-dials were activated with small tools, which in turn degraded the water-resistance.
The new calibre 7138 found in the new-gen Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Selfwinding is a combination of the calibre 7121 as a base, with a new module on top that’s been developed thanks to the knowledge acquired with the module on top of the calibre 5133 found in the Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin. First, all corrections are controlled exclusively by the crown, meaning that the complication is adjustable anywhere without tools and without risk of damage. “As all calendar functions are synchronised thanks to the new crown correction system and more robust movement construction,” explains AP, “it is impossible to desynchronise the watch and damage the mechanism if the user tries to set their watch when the automatic date change mechanism is active (between 9 pm and 3 am).”
The new crown incorporates four different positions. The first is used to wind the luxury super clone watches clockwise. Pulling the crown out one step (position 2) allows the date to be set clockwise and to adjust the month and the leap year in the opposite direction. By pulling out the crown again (position 3), the user can set the time bidirectionally. The last position is reached by pushing the crown back one step (position 2) to set the day and week clockwise and the moon phases counterclockwise. Indeed, thanks to a complex keyless works system, the middle position of the crown is different whether it’s pulled or pushed. This is based on an innovative lever and wandering wheels system that meshes with the different calendar wheels and is protected by two patents.
Now, let’s move to the QP module itself, which benefits from the innovations of calibre 5133 launched in 2018 with the Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin RD#2. As such, it incorporates all perpetual calendar functions in one single layer within the movement. The end-of-month cam is similarly integrated with the date wheel, while the month cam is combined with the month wheel. Crown corrections form a second layer, enabling the movement to keep a thin 4.1mm profile. The rest of the movement is based on the calibre 7121 of the new RO Jumbo, meaning a 4Hz frequency, a 55h power reserve, refined finishing with a solid gold rotor on ball bearings and a balance wheel with directly inserted inertia blocks.
The display has changed, too, compared to the older generation of Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Selfwinding models. While the signature week indication remains on the periphery, it is now the first week of the year (1) that appears at 12 o’clock (instead of week 52). In the same logic, “Monday” and “1” have been aligned at 12 o’clock in their respective sub-dials to mark the start of the week and the first day of the month. Finally, the dial also features a patented progressive step for the date display at 12 o’clock. The AP teams developed a date wheel with 31 custom-made teeth, the size of which varies to adapt to the width of the digits and enhance readability. A 24-hour indicator has been inserted in the day sub-dial at 9 o’clock. In addition, a no-correction zone is marked in red between 9PM and 3AM to indicate when the top replica watches UK cannot be set. However, if the user attempts to set the watch during this time, the date might not be corrected, but there is no risk of damaging the movement in the process. Finally, the moon phase now features a realistic depiction of the Moon based on a NASA photograph.
Two new steel or sand gold versions and a classic look
Now that we’ve talked about the mechanics, it’s time to take a closer look at these new versions of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Selfwinding – ref. 26674ST and 26674SG. And the least we can say is that, just like when AP updated the 15202ST to become the 16202ST, most of the evolution is found inside the case and through the sapphire back. There isn’t much difference between these new RO QP and the old models, which might be for the best. After all, it might well be the recipe to create an icon.
That being said, the new movement has had its implications on the design, and some specificities of the perfect copy watches need explaining. What we’re looking at is a pair of permanent collection models, available either in the most classic combination possible for a Royal Oak – stainless steel and blue dial – or in a more luxurious but rather discreet version based on the brand’s latest alloy, 18k sand gold. Dimensions and overall design are identical to the previous generation of Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Selfwinding, with a 41mm diameter and a thickness of 9.5mm. Looking in detail, you’ll see the same emblematic octagonal bezel with 6 white gold screw-shaped studs, the classic combination of vertical brushed surfaces with polished bevels, and sapphire crystals on both sides.
An even closer look reveals two important evolutions. As we explained, since the crown is now used to operate all the calendar functions, there’s no need to rely on recessed correctors in the casebands. This results in a much cleaner look, not to mention a far more practical replica watches wholesale to use. The other advantage of this evolution is water-resistance. While the previous generation was rated at 20m – basically splashproof – this next-gen QP has a more comfortable water-resistance of 50m – and that, without the slightest change to the thickness of the case.
In addition to the 26674ST in stainless steel, Audemars Piguet also introduces a solid gold edition, made in the highly appealing sand gold alloy unveiled last year. Hovering between white and pink gold, its colour changes according to the light and has a delicate warmth but never feels too present or ostentatious. It’s a discreet, luxurious Swiss made fake watches that has a refined presence, specifically with its tone-on-tone dial.
Talking about the dials – either in classic blue shades (PVD coating) or in sand gold tones (galvanic treatment) – the Grande Tapisserie pattern that’s a hallmark of the collection has been retained. On both replica watches shop, the hands and applied markers, which are filled with luminescent material, are made of solid 18k white gold. The blue model has white inscriptions for great contrast, while the sand gold model features black printings for a more striking look. Both have realistic representations of the Moon set against a starry blue sky.
As you’d expect, these new Royal Oak Perpetual Calendars are paired with an integrated RO bracelet, matching the case in material and finish. It is closed by a triple-folding clasp. And no, AP still doesn’t offer a micro-adjustment system or a quick-change device on the RO – the latter is only available on the ROO. Both would be a welcome addition, in all fairness.
Availability and price
The two new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Selfwinding with calibre 7138 are released as part of the permanent collection – which doesn’t mean we’re talking about readily available best quality fake watches. That being said, AP is releasing two limited editions of 150 pieces each, with a vintage Audemars Piguet signature on the moon phase and special engravings on the back (150 logo). The rest is entirely identical.
The prices of the steel reference 26674ST.OO.1320ST.01 and the sand gold reference 26674SG.OO.1320SG.01 are respectively CHF 109,300 and CHF 130,000 (both incl. taxes).
