Description
DiW Factory Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 ‘The Black Grail’
A masterclass in material engineering, blending genuine NTPT forged carbon with a DLC-treated steel core for uncompromising durability and an 88g ultralight profile.
Powered by Custom 324 SC Caliber
The mechanical core of this replica relies on the highly regarded 324 SC integrated clone movement, which has been specifically modified to match the DiW aesthetic. Unlike standard variants, this caliber features a bespoke gunmetal/black inertia-block balance wheel, maintaining the stealth theme even through the sapphire exhibition caseback. The movement architecture closely mirrors the genuine, with crisp côtes de Genève finishing across the bridges and precise gold-toned engravings. Passing through , the rotor spins smoothly on its ceramic ball bearings, providing efficient unidirectional winding to the mainspring.
Regulated prior to dispatch, this clone 324 SC movement typically operates within a tolerance of ±10–15 seconds per day, with stable amplitude across varying positions.
- ✅ Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- ✅ Complications: Sweep seconds, quick-set date via custom black disc
- ✅ Winding Direction: Unidirectional (Counter-Clockwise)
Technical Notice: Clone 324 Movement
The replica market currently produces only the Clone 324 movement. Even if movement bridges are engraved ‘330’, the mechanism operates as Clone 324.
Practical implication: The seconds hand does not stop when setting the time. This is correct behavior for this movement and ensures maximum long-term stability.
Technical Specifications
A hybrid construction featuring a 40.0mm diameter and an ultra-thin 9.2mm profile. The internal mid-case is machined from 316L steel with a vacuum DLC coating for structural rigidity, while the outer shell is forged from lightweight NTPT carbon.
The dial features the iconic horizontal embossing, executed in a deep matte black. The baton indices and hands are chemically blackened and filled with a custom dark grey luminous compound to preserve the stealth aesthetic.
Retaining the classic porthole silhouette, the bezel is milled from solid NTPT carbon. The random layering process ensures that the marbled, wave-like striations are entirely unique to each individual watch.
An engineering feat, the integrated bracelet features chamfered carbon fiber links connected by tight-tolerance DLC-coated steel hardware. It secures via a compact, double-safety folding clasp with a crisp mechanical snap.
Why DiW Factory for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: ‘Why not standard 3KF or PPF?’
While 3KF excels in standard stainless steel models due to their base movement, DiW Factory is the undisputed specialist for carbon modifications. Early carbon replicas from other factories attempted to thread screws directly into carbon fiber, leading to stripped threads and case failures. DiW Factory solved this by utilizing a DLC-treated 316L steel inner chassis, providing the structural integrity of a steel watch while delivering the 88g ultra-lightweight experience of full carbon.
Full Disclosure: Because the luminous compound is heavily tinted dark grey to achieve the ‘Black Grail’ aesthetic, its nocturnal glow intensity and duration are noticeably weaker than the standard C1/C3 Super-LumiNova found on traditional steel models.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the carbon fiber pattern match the genuine DiW ‘Black Grail’?
A: Because NTPT carbon fiber is forged through a random layering process of thin resin-impregnated sheets, the marbled and wave-like striations are naturally unique to every single watch. Your replica will have the correct texture and matte finish, but the specific pattern will differ from both the genuine prototype and other replicas.
Q: How durable is the carbon fiber bracelet compared to standard steel?
A: The bracelet utilizes solid carbon fiber links, which makes it extremely lightweight (bringing the total watch weight down to 88g). To prevent the carbon from cracking under stress, DiW Factory uses DLC-coated steel hardware and pins to connect the links, ensuring excellent tensile strength. However, carbon is more prone to chipping upon hard impacts than stainless steel.
Q: Does the movement feature a hacking seconds function?
A: No. The replica is powered by a clone of the Patek Philippe 324 SC caliber. Just like the genuine 324 movement found in the authentic 5711, the seconds hand does not stop (hack) when you pull the crown out to set the time.
Q: What is the biggest known flaw with this specific DiW release?
A: To accurately replicate the stealth aesthetic of the ‘Black Grail’, DiW Factory uses a heavily tinted dark grey luminous compound on the hands and indices. Consequently, the lume requires significantly more UV light to charge and glows much weaker and for a shorter duration compared to the bright C1 or C3 green lume used on standard steel Nautilus models.
