Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5968A-001: The 3KF “8.2mm” Super Clone
The Pinnacle of Aquanaut Sportiness. Featuring the legendary Blue Dial with Chronograph Function and the ultra-thin Clone 28-520 Movement.
⚠️ Important Technical Notice: Caliber 28-520 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 28-520 movement (exclusive for Aquanaut chronograph models).
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 28-520. Therefore, the watch functions like the classic 28-520: The chronograph seconds hand operates independently, and the main 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 8.6mm for Aquanaut chronograph models, 3KF has achieved the “Impossible Thickness” thanks to its proprietary movement technology, perfectly matching the genuine Aquanaut 5968A-001’s ultra-slim chronograph profile.
✅ True 8.2mm 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 chronograph functionality with unparalleled comfort.
✅ Clone 28-520 SC Movement: A fully integrated chronograph movement (not a modified Miyota). The calendar adjusts clockwise (top-to-bottom), the chronograph pushers have crisp feedback, and the feel of winding is buttery smooth, mirroring the genuine’s 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
Sporty Blue Chronograph
The embossed surface features the correct “Tropical” texture, a signature of the Aquanaut series. The vibrant blue tone boasts a subtle matte finish that avoids glare, with clear chronograph sub-dials and luminous markers, exuding sporty luxury in any lighting.
THE CASE
8.2mm Ultra-Thin Chronograph
Crafted from 316L Stainless Steel. The three-part case construction (bezel, case middle, caseback) is water-sealed and finished with expert brushing, perfectly replicating the genuine’s robust yet elegant chronograph profile, with precise chronograph pushers that sit flush with the case.
THE STRAP
Soft Rubber Signature Strap
3KF is famous for its “soft” strap feel, exclusive to the Aquanaut series. The integrated rubber strap features the iconic waffle pattern, offering exceptional flexibility and comfort that avoids the stiffness found in cheaper replicas. Features the Aquanaut fold-over clasp with hidden deployment, engraved with the Patek Philippe logo.
FINISHING
Hand-Finished Waffle Bezel
The iconic waffle-pattern bezel features uniform brushed 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, and the chronograph pushers have a seamless finish with the case.
