Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5168G-001: The 3KF “8.0mm” Super Clone
The Epitome of Luxury Sportiness. Featuring the legendary Blue Sunburst Dial and the ultra-thin Clone 240 Movement, crafted in 18K White Gold.
⚠️ Important Technical Notice: Caliber 240 vs. 26-330
We believe in total transparency. Recently, Patek Philippe updated some genuine Aquanaut models to the newer Caliber 26-330 (which allows the seconds hand to stop/hack). However, the replica industry (including 3KF) currently ONLY produces the Super Clone 240 movement (exclusive for Aquanaut 5168G-001).
What this means for you: Even if the movement bridges are engraved with “330” (to visually match the latest genuine batches), the internal mechanism is still the Clone 240. Therefore, the watch functions like the classic 240: The seconds hand does NOT stop when setting time. This is normal behavior for this clone movement and ensures maximum stability and thinness.
Why 3KF is the Market Leader?
While other factories struggle to get below 8.4mm for 18K white gold Aquanaut models, 3KF has achieved the “Impossible Thickness” thanks to its proprietary movement technology, perfectly matching the genuine Aquanaut 5168G-001’s ultra-slim luxury profile.
✅ True 8.0mm Thickness: The only version on the market that matches the genuine thickness 1:1. It slides under a shirt cuff like a second skin, combining 18K white gold luxury with unparalleled comfort.
✅ Clone 240 SC Movement: A fully integrated movement (not a modified Miyota). The calendar adjusts clockwise (top-to-bottom), and the feel of winding is buttery smooth, mirroring the genuine’s refined operation.
✅ Noise Reduction Upgrade: The latest rotor features Swiss precision bearings to minimize rotor noise, a significant improvement over previous generations and a hallmark of 3KF’s craftsmanship.
Technical Specifications
THE DIAL
Blue Sunburst Texture
The embossed surface features the correct “Tropical” texture, a signature of the Aquanaut series. The blue sunburst dial boasts a dynamic color shift, glowing from a vibrant sky blue in direct light to a deep navy blue in low light, with luminous gold hour markers exuding luxury.
THE CASE
8.0mm Ultra-Thin 18K White Gold
Crafted from genuine 18K White Gold. The three-part case construction (bezel, case middle, caseback) is water-sealed and finished with expert brushing and polishing, perfectly replicating the genuine’s robust yet elegant luxury profile, with a smooth, refined touch.
THE STRAP
Blue Rubber Signature Strap
3KF is famous for its “soft” strap feel, exclusive to the Aquanaut series. The integrated blue rubber strap features the iconic waffle pattern, perfectly matching the dial color, offering exceptional flexibility and comfort that avoids the stiffness found in cheaper replicas. Features the Aquanaut fold-over clasp with hidden deployment, crafted in 18K white gold and engraved with the Patek Philippe logo.
FINISHING
Hand-Finished Waffle Bezel
The iconic waffle-pattern bezel features uniform brushed 18K white gold surfaces, a signature design of the Aquanaut. The transition between the bezel and case is sharp and precise, with no gaps—mirroring the genuine’s hand-finished craftsmanship, with polished edges that catch the light beautifully.
