If you were unfortunately not in Tokyo back in 2023, boy, do I have great news for you. For Watches and Wonders 2025, Patek Philippe has added the Quadruple Complication to its main catalog with the reference 5308G-001. It’s a platinum split-seconds chronograph with both a minute repeater and an instantaneous perpetual calendar – aka, a really, really complicated Patek. This perfect replica watches was first seen with the ref. 5308P-010, a platinum-cased and salmon dial Quad Comp, only available at the Watch Art Grand Exhibition Tokyo in 2023. Now, we have a version for the main catalog.
Arguably, this is an upgraded ref. 5208, which was originally launched in 2011 as the very first CA best Patek Philippe fake watches to contain an aperture-based perpetual calendar, chronograph, and minute repeater. As you may be able to count up, the 5208 is a “triple” complication. With the 5308, available now outside of a limited series release, Patek and its technical team have added a split-seconds function. It’s a demonstration of mastery in haute horlogerie and complication abilities, styled in a very modern Patek fashion.
The self-winding caliber R CHR 27 PS QI at the heart of this beast is powered by a platinum mini-rotor. As an instantaneous perpetual calendar, all functions advance simultaneously at midnight, no creeping here. Outside of being cool and showing your friends when midnight hits, an instantaneous QP ensures accuracy a bit better and helping to keep down the need for manual adjustments.
In contrast to the “upgraded” 5208 take, it must be called out that luxury replica Patek Philippe watches redesigned this movement from the ground up — optimizing the energy distribution, improving the minute repeater’s efficiency by 20%, and introducing a more compact, integrated rattrapante mechanism.
It’s big high quality copy watches CA at 42mm in diameter by 16.16mm tall, but we can consider that passable given how insanely complicated and beautiful the movement is. Think of it this way. That’s more movement to look at through the exhibition caseback.
The dial of the cheap fake watches here is a nice juxtaposition from the Tokyo Exhibition piece, albeit both in white metal cases. It’s a lighter-leaning, sunburst blue that is modern and saturated but not flashy. The applied white gold markers and stark white chronograph hands provide a bit of distinction to the otherwise monotone motif.
Not just a Quadruple Complication for quadruple complication’s sake, the top super clone Patek Philippe Ref. 5308G-001 is a “because we can” watch. If you’re a fan of the 5208, this is a “because I can” purchase. And that’s ok.
