Overpriced: 3K Factory 5711 Nautilus 40th Anniversary Platinum Limited Edition.

Hello everyone, I’m CH Watch. I’m passionate about sharing watch knowledge, comparing genuine and replica models, and guiding you in your watch journey. Today, we’ll discuss the 3K Factory Patek Philippe 5711/1P Nautilus 40th Anniversary Limited Edition. This super clone watch boasts an impressive appearance. The case shape matches the classic Nautilus, and it features a 324 integrated movement, which is compatible with the original. The striking blue dial sets it apart from the standard gray and blue options, and the scale markers are diamond-like. While authentic models use real diamonds, replicas typically have ordinary gemstones. Let’s take a closer look at the manufacturer’s details:

Features: Horizontal embossed pattern featuring “40” and “1976-2016” in relief.

Material Overview: The inaugural commemorative Nautilus Ref 5711/1P, created for the 40th anniversary, is crafted from platinum, the most prestigious of precious metals. Its case features a high-quality diamond inlaid at the six o’clock position between the lugs, serving as a distinctive mark of its platinum composition.

Strap Overview: The strap is custom-designed with platinum plating, featuring a robust yet flexible grain. Each link of the bracelet elegantly follows the outline of the case, tapering as it connects to the folding buckle. This design ensures a secure fit on the wrist while providing optimal comfort.

Dial Overview: The dial features a blue PVD treatment and showcases the signature horizontal embossed pattern of the Nautilus series. Below, the inscriptions “40” and “1976-2016” commemorate the 40th anniversary. The stick-shaped hour markers, crafted from 18K gold, are adorned with premium square diamonds totaling approximately 0.34 carats, embodying the luxurious essence of this limited edition model.

Movement Overview: The 324 SC automatic winding movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. Much of the work remains hand-finished, including the circular chamfering on the edges of the plates, Geneva stripes, gold engraving, circular graining, and the star pattern on the automatic rotor. Made from 21K gold, the rotor efficiently transforms even minor wrist movements into energy for self-winding.

Regarding the blue color, I haven’t seen the actual watch, so my assessment is based on various pictures and videos. Overall, I’d say it looks about 90% accurate. However, from what I’ve gathered, it might be slightly brighter than the original. While the genuine piece also features a bright blue, the shade from the 3K factory could be a bit more intense. Of course, the perception of color can vary with lighting conditions. From certain angles, it appears very appealing, but from others, it might seem a bit too vivid. Since I haven’t seen the real thing, it’s hard to draw definitive conclusions, but the color does seem quite close to the authentic bright blue.

Alright, let’s examine the entire watch case. One distinctive feature of this watch is the diamond positioned at 6 o’clock beneath the glass. This detail signifies that the genuine watch is crafted from platinum. Since the 3K factory can’t use platinum, they’ve opted for stainless steel instead.

To differentiate the 40th anniversary edition, the genuine model features the anniversary date, 1976 to 2016, engraved on the watch face. This special edition includes a diamond beneath the 6 o’clock bezel. However, during our review, we tested the diamond with a gem tester and found it wasn’t a real diamond; it could be glass or simply too small to measure accurately. In truth, such diamonds are not very expensive and can cost just a few dozen yuan when bought in bulk. It raises questions about the manufacturer’s claims regarding this Super Clone Watch.

Alright, let’s move on. The overall movement is impressive, featuring the 324 movement. The case quality is also on par with the PPF factory. This 40th anniversary model looks fantastic, especially with its integrated movement. The details on the dial and hands are visually appealing, including the calendar window, making it a commendable choice in the realm of Super Clone Watch.

Adjustment method: To set the watch, wind it up, then pull the crown out to the first notch to adjust the calendar. For setting the time, pull the crown out to the second notch. The calendar will advance automatically at midnight.

The 3K factory employs a customized 324 integrated movement, which allows for the same adjustment method as the original. When you pull the crown out, the second hand continues to move uninterrupted.

The appearance is decent, and as a detox-style piece, it scores around 7 to 8 points. However, the material isn’t correct; the genuine version is platinum, while this is stainless steel, which affects the weight. If you really like the design, the stainless steel model is still a good option. For those focused on the 40th anniversary edition, keep in mind it’s more of a novelty item. The diamond isn’t real, and there are significant differences beyond just the movement and case style. Authentic models are priced much higher, often exceeding 800,000.
