The Strong Watch – Patek Philippe
To characterize the Patek Philippe (or any classic watch) as “strong” is a reference to its auction sale price. A 1946 Patek Philippe No. 1518 sold for more than the expected two hundred thousand dollars – along with others of the same name – making this indeed a very strong watch name. Amongst this watch’s other strengths were its color, design and skeleton – very unique for a watch for of this time period. The gold, copper, royal blue and white coloration made this also a very “fun” watch to follow. A Patek Philippe replica watch can be yours for far less money.
An exact replica copy of this watch may be difficult to obtain, however. A close second might be the HR replica “PP Calatrava Skeleton Number 209”. The larger mid-section dial of this watch has been fully skeletonized to offer an almost complete view of its fine inner workings. The blue finish hands appear to float over the “yellow gold” skeleton movement of this copy. The name “PATEK PHILIPPE” appears in bold type font over the top of the revealed inner movement. The rest of the inner watch dial has traditional Arabic numeral hour markers.
As if that weren’t enough, this special edition also comes in a perpetual calendar model. Day and date sub-dial indicators are opposed to each other at the nine and three o’clock positions. A 24 hour timer sub-dial appears at bottom. Even the back is excised in full skeleton mode to reveal the opposite side of the delicate inner movement. If that is not enough, this very special watch also comes in at least two other editions – one in full yellow gold and the other with black bezel and black sub-dial bezel and borders. But, you may have to wait to get yours as these very special Patek Philippe replica watches are usually sold out!
