The 2024 edition of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève has just unveiled the grand winner of this year’s awards ceremony! Often regarded as the Oscars of Watchmaking, the GPHG stands for a celebration of all things surrounding mechanical watchmaking. A specially selected jury, which included our founder and editor-in-chief Frank Geelen, has narrowed down all the entries into multiple categories with six CA perfect replica watches each. Out of all the entries, only one has been selected as the grand winner, receiving the coveted “Aiguille d’Or” trophy for Best of Show. In addition to that, each category winner also received an award. Last year, the stunningly complex Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Ultra-Complication Universelle, the most complicated wristwatch ever created by the brand, took the golden hand back home. This year, the jury of the GPHG 2024 rewarded astronomical precision with the high quality fake IWC Portugieser Eternal Calendar watches, the brand’s first secular calendar. And we also have the full list of winners at the 2024 edition of the GPHG, with all represented categories.
GPHG 2024 – Quick take
There’s been a time when the GPHG rewarded ultra-thin watchmaking, with the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin in 2019 (back then the thinnest QP) and the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept in 2020 (the thinnest mechanical 2024 1:1 replica watches ever made), and Bulgari with the Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar in 2021. Then, in 2022, followed a supremely complex chronograph, the Legacy Machine Sequential EVO, this time celebrating an independent watchmaker. Last year, with the Code 11.59 Ultra-Complication Universelle, the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève went back to celebrating watchmaking at its best with an ultra-complex watch. This year, the jury awards one of the most advanced calendar copy watches for men of recent years, the Portugieser Eternal Calendar.
In the world of watchmaking, there’s the perpetual calendar, and then there’s the extremely rare secular calendar, which takes into account even the most complex oddities of the Gregorian calendar, including centurial years. Top replica IWC’s Eternal Calendar watches is equipped with a 400-year gear designed to skip three leap years over four centuries. This quantum leap allows it to calculate the leap year correctly until 3999 – and it’s been done in a very clever way too, as the 400-year gear has just eight components and responds to the brand’s usual simplification of complications. And that’s not all, as the IWC Portugieser Eternal Calendar super clone watches wholesale site includes the world’s most accurate moon phase display, deviating from the Moon’s orbit by only one day after 45 million years.
Housed in cheap replica watches CA that features all the design cues of this now iconic collection, in a platinum case with a crisp white dial with sapphire crystal elements over it, the GPHG 2024 here rewards both the longevity of this collection and the true ingenuity of the brand’s R&D team, which managed to create one of the most advanced calendar fake watches shop now available.
