Patek Philippe Replica Watches: Nautilus, Geneve, Calatrava, Aquanaut And Pocket Watches

Published: December 6, 2006
Not many watchmakers have the honor or the distinction of creating some of the most influential timepiece designs in history. But Patek Philippe does.
The Patek Watch Company was founded in 1839 by Antoine Norbert de Patek and Francois Czapek. Patek Philippe watches have the distinction of the Geneva Seal, the highest form of recognition any watchmaker can receive.
The criteria, which are 12-fold, are rigorous. One can imagine this exquisite attention to detail, as well the honorable Geneva Seal, would render the watch expensive. But even though the watch is pricey, that should not suggest anyone interested in at least keeping the time could not own something like it.
This is where Patek Philippe Replica watches come in. Among the Patek Philippe Replica watches available are the Aquanaut, the Calatrava, the Nautilus and the Perpetual Calendar.
Calatrava
The Calatrava watch is one of the most popular models from Patek Philippe's entire collection. The name comes from the Spanish Order of Knighthood founded in 1158. The Calatrava Cross served as the emblem for the Spanish Order of Knighthood and soon became the insignia for Patek Philippe watches, the first of which appeared in 1932.
One of the reasons the Calatrava watch is so popular is because of its simple, yet beautiful lines. It is this sort of aesthetic design making Calatrava watches popular with either casual clothes or glamorous gowns. A Patek Philippe Replica watch mirrors this aesthetic design without the high price tag.
Aquanaut
A genuine Aquanaut watch was designed for sports enthusiasts who favored trendy, yet durable timepieces. Some of the features include an octagonal bezel, which is a trademark among the entire Nautical collection, including glow-in-the-dark coating and water-resistant ‘‘Tropical'' straps. Aquanaut comes in three sizes: small, medium and large. A large Aquanaut accompanies very large male wrists, while the small and medium sizes suit smaller men's and women's wrists. This watch also comes with the Geneva Seal, which indicates it is of the highest caliber and limits the quantity produced.
Perpetual Calendar Watch
A wristwatch with a perpetual calendar is extremely complicated. This watch, in its simple beauty, has a calendar in it changing the date at the end of each month. Patek Philippe was the first to use a perpetual calendar in a wristwatch. Although a Patek Philippe replica watch could not replicate this or any of the other complicated watch movements, the look of a perpetual calendar has been easily replicated.
The Pocket Watch- Caliber 89
Patek Philippe's Caliber 89 is the world's most complicated watch, according to Cool-watches.com. It was created in 1989 to celebrate the company’s 150th anniversary. Weighing in at three pounds, it is a double-sided watch made of gold with 1,728 interacting parts. Only four Patek Philippe Caliber watches were made. Aside from the obvious feat of telling time, this pocket watch also can display the week, month, year, leap-year, time of sunrise and sunset, moon phases and temperature. Asking price today? $6 million.
Nautilus
The Nautilus Collection is a resurrection from the late 1970s. The watch was not too popular back then, as least in comparison to the Calatrava. Yet, watchmakers at Patek Philippe were hopeful a 2006 upgraded version of the Nautilus would sell well. The line boasts an additional five new watches with a variety of features pertaining to the model.
The Nautilus is a sports watch, depicted by the stainless steel band, a common feature among all five models. Like all of the other Patek Philippe replica watches, the functionality is not replicated, but the design and aesthetic qualities are. Certainly die-hard fans yearn for the day when they can afford a genuine Patek Philippe watch, but until then, there are plenty of Patek Philippe replica watches to choose from.
