While I’m not crazy about pocket UK perfect replica watches, this one is undeniably interesting and worth a quick feature here on BAL. If you squint and look at the photos, you would think this is a Breguet, given the dial and hand style but, of course, it is not. Signed by Patek Philippe and complete with the original certificate, this is a pocket watch I can get down with! It’s just weird enough.
I have seen best copy Patek Philippe pocket watches with guilloché dials in the past but those tend to date more toward the 1910s and aren’t so obviously inspired by Breguet. Check out a few examples of these earlier AAA replica watches here, here, and here. The one we are focusing on here dates to the 1940s and has more overtly Breguet dial cues, like the outer minute track and the sub-seconds register styles. It’s worth noting that the Patek signature is correct for the second half of the 1940s with “& Cie.”
I like what I see but, to be sure, I reached out to Collectability’s John Reardon, my favorite Patek expert, to give the high quality fake Patek Philippe watches a quick check. He said, “I would want to see an archive to confirm it’s legit… gut reaction is that is it most likely okay.”
An eBay seller out of St. Louis, Missouri, has put this UK cheap super clone Patek pocket watches up for auction, ending Sunday.
