Patek Philippe Watch Appraisal

Counterfeit Patek Philippe Calatrava Style Watch

This item is a wristwatch designed to resemble a Patek Philippe timepiece, though it displays several key indicators of being a low-quality counterfeit. The watch features a round, silver-toned metal case with an exhibition case back that reveals a basic automatic movement. Based on visual inspection, the movement finish lacks the high-level horological decoration (such as Geneva stripes, perlage, or polished anglage) expected of an authentic Patek Philippe. The winding rotor is stamped with Patek Philippe and the Calatrava cross, but the engraving is shallow and lacks precision. The case back is secured by six visible screws, which is atypical for authentic luxury models in this style. The attached strap is a reddish-brown leather with a croc-embossed texture, showing significant wear, peeling, and deterioration on the inner lining, suggesting inferior materials. The overall construction appears rough, with dull metal finishing and poorly defined edges on the lugs. The item is assessed as a contemporary replica rather than a genuine Swiss luxury timepiece.
