Description
3KF Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 “Tiffany & Co.”
Achieving the genuine 8.3mm case thickness through an integrated clone movement makes this execution the technical benchmark for the 5711 platform.
Powered by Super Clone 324 S C
The mechanical foundation of the 3KF 5711 is its bespoke Super Clone 324 S C movement. Unlike lesser replicas that employ a Miyota base caliber masked by decorative plates, this movement is integrated. It mirrors the genuine Patek Philippe architecture, featuring a correct free-sprung balance wheel clone, perlage finishing on the base plate, and crisp côtes de Genève across the bridges. This structural integrity is what allows the watch to maintain its ultra-thin profile.
Regulated to approximately ±5–8 seconds per day. The clone balance assembly provides a stable amplitude, though it lacks the proprietary Gyromax adjustment system of the genuine piece.
- ✅ Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- ✅ Complications: Hours, minutes, sweep seconds, and date display at 3 o’clock
- ✅ Winding Direction: Unidirectional (counter-clockwise rotor winding)
Technical Notice: Clone 324 Movement
The replica market currently produces only the Clone 324 movement. Even if movement bridges are engraved “330”, the mechanism operates as Clone 324.
Practical implication: The seconds hand does not stop when setting the time. This is correct behavior for this movement and ensures maximum long-term stability.
Technical Specifications
Measuring exactly 40mm in diameter and an ultra-thin 8.3mm in height, the case geometry perfectly replicates the genuine. The total weight is verified at 121.8 grams, offering a balanced wrist presence.
Features horizontal embossing with a highly saturated turquoise hue. The double-signed “Tiffany & Co.” stamp sits at 6 o’clock, complemented by black oxidized gold applied markers.
The iconic octagonal bezel showcases sharp, vertical satin brushing contrasted by highly polished, rounded chamfers that catch the light accurately.
The integrated bracelet features alternating brushed outer links and polished center links. Tolerances at the end-links are tight, securing with a crisp fold-over deployant clasp.
Why 3KF for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: “Why not PPF?”
While PPF produces an excellent Nautilus, their reliance on modified base movements with decorative plates often results in a case thickness exceeding 8.5mm. 3KF’s true integrated Clone 324 eliminates these plates entirely, allowing the case to sit flush on the wrist at the exact genuine specification of 8.3mm. Furthermore, 3KF’s execution of the Tiffany Blue lacquer presents a highly accurate saturation level that performs well under natural lighting conditions.
Full Disclosure: The date wheel font on the 3KF movement is marginally thinner than the genuine counterpart, and the “Tiffany & Co.” stamp can exhibit slight variations in print weight across different production batches.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the 3KF 5711 achieve the exact 8.3mm thickness of the genuine?
A: Yes. By utilizing an integrated Clone 324 S C movement rather than a modified Miyota 9015 base, 3KF eliminates the need for decorative bridge plates. This structural advantage allows the case to measure exactly 8.3mm, matching the genuine specification.
Q: How accurate is the Tiffany Blue dial color on this specific replica?
A: 3KF has achieved a highly saturated turquoise lacquer that performs exceptionally well under natural daylight. However, replicating the exact proprietary mix of the genuine double-signed dial is notoriously difficult, and slight tonal shifts may be visible under harsh artificial lighting.
Q: Why doesn’t the seconds hand stop when I pull the crown to set the time?
A: This is mechanically correct for the Patek Philippe Caliber 324. The genuine movement does not feature a hacking seconds function, and the 3KF clone replicates this exact architectural behavior to ensure maximum long-term stability.
Q: What is the main known flaw of the 3KF 5711 Tiffany edition?
A: While the case geometry and movement are class-leading, collectors often note that the date wheel font is marginally thinner than genuine. Additionally, the ‘Tiffany & Co.’ stamp can occasionally exhibit slight variations in print weight compared to the highly controlled genuine lacquer dials.
