How do I check to see if my Patek Philippe is real?
1 Answer

To check to see if your Patek Philippe is real, look closely at the dial. Any flaw on the dial is evidence of fakery. Are the numbers in the right font? Are the hands the right style and length? Experts recommend that you examine a watch you're considering using a loupe and compare it with the same model in a reference book or auction catalogue.
Created in-house and by hand, real Patek Philippe cases will feel substantial. There will be nothing slight or irregular about them.
