To me, you’ve really made it in the watch world when you have an illustrious collection – but I chose to wear a decidedly non-flex copy watch. It’s a sturdy vintage piece built for everyday wear, despite its traditional classification as a “dress watch.” It’s something you’d be comfortable traveling with, walking around in Paris with – unlike if you were spotted wearing a yellow-gold Daytona, which might be someone’s version of a success replica watch but to me almost feels comical at this point (and, at worst, leaves you vulnerable to the recent uptick in watch theft). Success – for me – is achieving a “less is more” mentality, a feeling of true comfort with oneself and one’s possessions … a lack of yearning for more, more, more. When I wear the luxury replica watches, I feel grounded, which is all I’m ever looking for in life.
The Dial
The dial on this best fake Patek Philippe UK is minimal and elegant, the black Roman numerals setting my example apart from the standard Ellipses (typically punctuated by baton hour markers). The gold color paired with the 18k yellow gold case results in a monochromatic look, which I like. It’s very ’70s.
The Movement
This watch is equipped with an in-house movement number 1216263. In the face of the looming quartz crisis, AAA quality replica Patek made a conscious effort through the 1960s to acquire Switzerland’s best craftsmen, whom the brand had traditionally hired on a third-party basis, rendering all pieces of this watch in-house. Collectability’s John Reardon described the Ellipse as, “the canvas to tell the story of Patek Philippe replica for sale to the world.”
The Case
This case is unusual for an Ellipse in that it has the visible lugs. This would not be my first personal choice in a cheap fake Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse, as it does not fully abide by the mystical “golden ratio” its lug-less counterpart is known for. However, the fact that this is not my first choice Ellipse goes with my idea of “success” in this context. Success is not about having it all. It’s about having enough.
