For fans of Swiss fake Patek Philippe’ Travel Time watches, the addition of an alarm and date wheel was a welcome surprise when the Ref. 5520P hit the market in 2019. Those additions also allowed the Ref. 5520 to move from the “complication” category into rare air of Patek’s “grand complications.” That may be a semantic distinction, but the addition of a working mechanical alarm into an already very complicated perfect replica watches are, we think, rather distinguished.
Alarm US best copy watches were something of a trend in the decades following World War II, and there has been a small revival of the mechanical alarm complication among brands like Jaeger-LeCoultre, Breguet, Richard Mille and Hublot in recent decades. But few of those offerings are as compelling as high quality fake Patek Philippe watches’ alarm complication, because the caliber AL 30-660 S C FUS is simply a pleasure to use, to gaze upon, and to hear. The Travel Time series has always offered a simple way to track dual time zones while abroad, and the addition of the alarm complication has not fouled that elegant complication one bit. Especially well done is the digital display of the alarm time setting below 12 o’clock, which allows for accurate alarms compared to the more common rotating alarm hand mounted to the central arbor.
For 2024, cheap super clone Patek Philippe watches have given us the 5220RG, a lovely rose gold version with a gray sunburst dial and generous luminescent accents throughout the dial. There’s something in this colorway which adds even more old-world charm to this already retro-styled timepiece.
