Help Finding Patek Rep

[AUSAR]

Hello everyone,

It is my first post here, and I am very new to rep watches. I am looking to get my first rep and would like some help (Apologies if this post belongs in another part of the Forum).

I am looking to get a Patek and would like some suggestions. I have very large wrists ~8.7", and prefer larger watches in general. I am specifically looking for Pateks with a case size of 44mm or larger (which itself is a very limiting criterion).

I have found a few models that I thought looked nice, such as the Grand Complications 6002 or the Nautilus 5976, but it appears that there are no reps of these watches available, as far as I have found. (I have found one of the 5976, except they are made in the standard Nautilus size of 40.5mm rather than the specific 44mm).

Would anyone know if there are any reps of these watches beyond my current knowledge, or if there are other Pateks of larger size that would have a rep readily available? Thanks!

Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

I'm afraid there's no decent rep of big-sized Pateks. You have 2 options: either you pm the TDs sending them a pic and model of the watch you're after and hope they have a source (unlikely), or you explore Ali Express and DHGate for lower quality versions. If you like it, I know there's a Cubitus rep at 44mm.
Or you simply look for alternatives. The JTime website has filter functions that will allow you to limit your research to bigger sizes. Maybe you are lucky and find something that suits you. In general, from the top of my head, if I think of 44mm watches I come up with AP, IWC and obviously Panerai.

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:

Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:

Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain.

@AUSAR : as @Feefo already said, the Cubitus is a 45 mm , in the Patek world it is your only choice ATM.

Pateks are (or WERE ? Stern, i'm talking to you !! ) elegant watches, with 39mm - 40mm - 42 mm sizes.

Anyway, i think that a Aquanaut Chrono 5968, even at a 42 mm, is a BIG beast !

Here you go, using the diameter filter on Jtime I got these hits with Patek (know nothing about these models, factories and hence, quality):

https://jtime.io/us/brands.html?case_diameter=44&cat=60

JLC:

https://jtime.io/us/brands.html?case_diameter=44&cat=51

VC:

https://jtime.io/us/brands.html?case_diameter=44&cat=69

You can try other brands

Thanks for the help! Will do and look over those posts as you recommended.

I have been able to get in touch with some of the TDs as recommended, and have found that there are actually quite a few models that they have that aren't listed on their website. I have found a TD in fact offering the 6002, although it is unfortunately out of stock at the moment .

Still, it was valuable info finding out that a 6002 rep does exist, so I'm just hoping that it is back in stock soon. Thanks again for the help!

Please keep us updated on a potential rep of the 6002 - I expect this to be a shitter (aka very low quality and ugly replica) of epic proportions as there is no way to rep a $5.000.000 Sky Moon Tourbillon.

For the Celestial Moon one - there is a good thread in the patek section about the rep. AFAIR: not that bad but highly unfunctional and unfixable,
