I learned that ZF will not be focusing on developing new watch-making technologies or releasing breakthrough models. Instead, they are eagerly awaiting the unveiling of new watches at the 2019 Basel and SIHH events.During my conversation with the store owner, he introduced me to a Patek Philippe Calatrava replica watch. At first glance, the watch appeared quite ordinary, lacking any striking features. However, upon discovering its price, I was taken aback. Surprisingly, this replica watch was being sold at a significantly higher price compared to other dress watches such as the IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve and the Rolex Oyster Perpetual from AR factory. Perplexed by the price disparity, I decided to examine the watch closely.Upon touching the watch’s case and inspecting the movement decoration, I realized that this replica belonged to the realm of top-quality artistry replica watches. Despite its unassuming appearance, the craftsmanship and attention to detail were truly remarkable. This discovery shed light on the reasons behind its elevated price point, and I couldn’t help but appreciate the time and effort invested in creating such a masterpiece.
ZF has released three models of the replica Patek Philippe Calatrava 5296G. These models come in stainless steel with a black leather strap, rose gold case with a brown leather strap, and stainless steel with a brown leather strap. All three models have a plentiful stock available. The case measures 38mm in diameter and is only 9mm thick, making it an ultra-thin automatic watch. The size of the case makes it suitable for most people. When compared to the IWC Portuguese 7 Days, the Patek Philippe Calatrava 5296G is more fitting to be considered a dream watch due to its simplicity and elegance. The simple design and functions of this replica watch provide exceptional stability. The case is fully polished with a smooth round bezel, and the case back is transparent crystal, allowing you to see delicate engravings on each lug’s backside, just like the genuine watch.
Take a look at the dial, it is not off-white but rather in an ivory color. The stick hour markers and hands are in a silver-white shade, and the date window at 3 o’clock displays the current date in black font. It is these hour markers and hands that precisely showcase the exceptional manufacturing process of the ZF factory.
The movement utilized in this replica watch is a clone of the PP Cal. 324SC, which is based on the authentic Japanese Miyota 9015 movement. In my personal opinion, the most stable and accurate movements commonly used in replica watches are the Asia ETA 2834, 2836, and Miyota 9015. ZF factory has acquired the Miyota 9015 movement from Japan and made certain modifications, such as placing the balance wheel in the correct position and decorating the movement plates and auto rotor to closely resemble the genuine Calibre 324SC.
The perfect replica watch comes with a black leather strap, constructed from genuine calf-skin leather. The leather band features a high-quality embossed crocodile print, adding a textured look. This type of leather strap has a durable lifespan, capable of lasting for more than five years.
