Introduction

Patek Philippe is renowned for its high-quality watches, but fake versions of their iconic 3800 model are prevalent. This guide helps you spot the differences and make informed purchases.

Spotting Fake Features

  • Inspect the case back: Counterfeits often have misspellings or inconsistencies in serial numbers.

  • Check the hands and markers: They may not be aligned perfectly or have incorrect finishes.
