QF Edition — Presidential Bracelet
The reference 128239-0023 presents a distinct challenge for horological replicas due to its intricate gradient dial and specific case profile. The QF edition addresses these technical demands by combining precise 904L Oystersteel machining with an accurate dial lacquering process, establishing a reliable benchmark for 36mm Day-Date collectors.
At the core of this model operates the Clone 3255 movement. Unlike standard ETA-based clones, this caliber features a day and date complication with instantaneous switching and unrestricted rapid-setting capabilities. Operating at 28,800 vph, the mechanism delivers stable timekeeping with a power reserve of approximately 36 hours.
The 36mm monobloc middle case is milled from 904L stainless steel, polished to mimic the visual profile of the genuine white gold counterpart. The focal point remains the gradient blue dial, which transitions cleanly into a deep #003A70 navy tone toward the chapter ring. The fluted bezel and concealed folding crown clasp complete the authentic architectural profile.
