Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I set the dual time (Travel Time) function on the clone?
Setting the clone’s dual time is done via the crown only, just like the genuine Travel Time model. Pull the crown to the first position to adjust the local hour hand forward/back in one-hour steps. The skeletonized “Home” hand moves automatically for the second time zone.In practice, you pull the crown out one notch: rotating it will shift the solid local hour hand ±1 hour without stopping the movement (so the time difference changes while minutes/seconds run). Returning the crown to the normal position resumes full operation. The skeletonized Home hand remains synchronized with your main time unless you manually reset it. The date flips with the local time change at midnight. This system matches the authentic watch’s design, so our clone’s setup feels identical. A shorthowto: set home time first (if needed) in crown’s second position, then use the first position for local adjustments. No tools are required.
Is the rose-gold finish real gold or plating, and what about the strap?
The clone’s case is 316L stainless steel with rose-gold PVD plating, not solid gold. The plating is durable and visually matches the original Patek color. It comes with a high-quality blue-gray strap (typically leather or composite) and a rose-gold–tone folding clasp. Our clone achieves the same look via thick PVD rose-gold coating over steel, which resists scratches better than pure gold. The result is the same warm hue and polish/brush finish as the real watch. The strap on the clone is made of a patterned blue-gray composite or leather (matching the official strap color). It attaches securely to an engraved fold-over clasp in rose-gold tone. Over time, avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the plating. In daily wear, the plating holds up well; any wear is superficial and far less costly than gold refinement.
