I need gold. My watch collection lacks precious metal, so with that in mind, I started looking for gold Swiss made replica watches on a budget of €5K. Please enjoy my gold choices from Audemars Piguet and IWC.
Going for gold on a budget — yes, it is possible. I looked for small, snazzy, dressy gold UK luxury fake watches to spice up my modest collection. And guess what: I was spoiled for choice!
The best vintage watches under €5K — Replica Audemars Piguet Ultra-Thin Watches
It’s tiny, but this high quality replica Audemars Piguet Ultra-Thin watches with its 33mm 18k yellow gold coin-edge case is very charming. It’s a combination of factors that make this 1980s creation irresistible. First, there’s the movement. Inside the small case beats the Audemars Piguet caliber 2003. As you might know, this movement is based on a Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber and also saw action in different Vacheron Constantin creations. Fun fact: when caliber 2003 debuted in 1946, this 1.64mm-thick hand-cranker was the world’s thinnest mechanical watch movement.
The movement is a nice start, but it’s the two-tone dial that seals the deal. It features a subtle grainy off-white inner portion, and around it is a brushed silver ring with black Roman numerals. Don’t expect any luminous material anywhere. This perfect copy watches UK has no need for it, not with its dressy dial and elegant blued leaf-style hands. The Audemars Piguet signature on the dial is the icing on the cake that will set you back €4,900. Take a look at Bulang & Sons if you want to know more about this cute little “AP.”
Fake IWC Portugieser red. 1810 Watches
Dressy in a utilitarian way, this cheap China replica IWC Portugieser ref. 1810 watches I found on Miquel Schmuck und Uhren (ignore the header stating the wrong reference number) is a 35 × 10mm 18K gold watch that blends functionality with style. It’s easy to read and quite sturdy, as once preferred by two Portuguese merchants in the late 1930s. This ref. 1810 from the late 1970s also displays plenty of elegant swagger and doesn’t look bad in formal situations.
Inside the case beats the automatic caliber 8541B, displaying hours, minutes, and seconds on a distinct gold-colored dial. I don’t mind the date window at 3 o’clock. Having a date aperture is a reminder that while this top super clone watches might look suave and upper-class, it doesn’t deny its heritage. And it does all that for “just” €2,999.
