We're back with another Real vs. Fake – and this time, someone tried to consign a fake Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5711/1A with us, albeit unintentionally.
This counterfeit shocked us – it’s the most accurate fake of the Nautilus we’ve seen yet: the first one we've seen with a free-sprung balance.
Our Swiss-trained watchmaker Peter breaks down the key differences between this fake and a genuine ref. 5711.
At Wristcheck, we're here to help you make informed decisions when buying off the secondary market – our thorough authentication process makes sure every watch consigned to us is 100% genuine. Watch to learn more about what to look out for when buying pre-owned watches.
