3KF Factory Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167/1A-001 (Super Clone 324)
The ultra-thin masterwork featuring the full bridge-to-bridge Super Clone 324 movement on a stainless steel bracelet.
Powered by 3KF Super Clone Caliber 324 S C
This is not a modified Miyota 9015. This is 3KF’s proprietary “Super Clone” movement, reverse-engineered to match the genuine Patek Caliber 324 S C dimensions exactly. This allows for the correct case thickness (approx 8.3mm) and proper crown stem height.
- ✅ Power Reserve: Approx. 35-45 Hours (Matches Gen Spec).
- ✅ Functionality: Instant date change at midnight; Correct counter-clockwise time setting.
- ✅ Reliability: Laser-scanned bridges and platinum-plated rotor for 1:1 visual fidelity.
⚠️ Important Technical Notice: Caliber 324 vs. 330
We believe in total transparency. Recently, Patek Philippe updated the genuine 5167A to the newer Caliber 330 (which allows the seconds hand to stop/hack). However, the replica industry (including 3KF/PPF) currently ONLY produces the Super Clone 324 movement.
What this means for you:
- Even if the movement bridges are engraved with “330” (to visually match the latest genuine batches), the internal mechanism is still the Clone 324.
- Therefore, the watch functions like the classic 324: The seconds hand does NOT stop when setting time. This is normal behavior for this clone movement and ensures maximum stability and thinness.
Technical Specifications
THE BUILD
Ultra-Thin 8.3mm Profile
Crafted from solid 316L Stainless Steel. The 3KF version is currently the only model that achieves the genuine thickness within 0.1mm tolerance due to the custom movement.
THE FACE
Embossed Black Dial
Features the classic Aquanaut checkerboard embossing. The indexes are applied with SuperLuminova, offering a strong green glow in low light conditions.
THE BRACELET
Full 316L Steel Link
Unlike the common rubber strap version, this model comes on the intricate 5167/1A steel bracelet with a double-deployant butterfly clasp.
REFINEMENT
Crystal & Finishing
Sapphire crystal with Swiss-grade AR coating. The case features contrasting vertical brushing on the bezel face and mirror polishing on the beveled edges.
🏆 Why We Chose 3KF for this Model?
Many clients ask: “Why not the PPF Version?”
Here is the honest truth: While PPF offers a slightly whiter lume color on the dial, 3KF wins in terms of Case Geometry and Movement Architecture. PPF uses a decorated Miyota movement which requires a thicker case back and thicker overall profile. For the Aquanaut 5167, the “thinness” is the primary luxury characteristic, and 3KF nails this best.
Full Disclosure: The 3KF rotor can be slightly audible in a dead-silent room (a “whirring” sound), which is standard for this clone movement type, whereas the genuine gold rotor is silent.

Common Questions about the Aquanaut 5167
Q: Is this 3KF version waterproof?
A: Out of the box, it is sealed for basic daily use (hand washing/rain). However, the Aquanaut is a sports watch; if you plan to swim, we strongly recommend a professional pressure test and greasing of the gaskets.
Q: How does the Super Clone 324 compare to the Genuine?
A: It is visually nearly identical, including the positioning of the balance wheel and the engraving. It offers a 35-45 hour power reserve. Note that like the genuine 324, this movement does not “hack” (seconds hand keeps moving while setting time).
Q: Can I swap the steel bracelet for a rubber strap later?
A: Yes, the case lugs are identical to the strap version. You can purchase a high-quality FKM rubber strap separately and swap them, giving you two looks for one watch.
