Description
3KF Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167/1A-001
The integration of a true clone caliber makes this the definitive 5167 replica to achieve the genuine 8.3mm case thickness.
Powered by Super Clone 324 S C
The proprietary Super Clone 324 S C movement represents a significant departure from standard replica manufacturing. By discarding the thicker Miyota 9015 base, 3KF engineered a mechanism that mirrors the dimensions of the genuine Patek Philippe caliber. The movement features a platinum-plated central rotor, correct bridge engravings, and perlage côtes de Genève finishing. While the balance wheel mimics the free-sprung Gyromax aesthetic, actual regulation is achieved via traditional hidden pins underneath.
Factory rated at ±8–12 s/day. As a bespoke clone caliber, it requires careful handling and regular servicing to maintain long-term amplitude stability.
- ✅ Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- ✅ Complications: Instant date change at midnight, non-hacking sweep seconds
- ✅ Winding Direction: Unidirectional (counter-clockwise rotor winding)
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
Measuring exactly 40mm in diameter and 8.3mm thick, the case exhibits sharp transitions between the satin-brushed flat surfaces and high-polish flanks. The total weight on the bracelet is a verified 146g.
Features the correct grid layout with applied Arabic numerals. The dial print is crisp, though the Swiss Super-LumiNova application can present a slightly greener daylight tint than OEM.
The iconic octagonal bezel is rendered with a precise vertical brush pattern on the top surface, contrasting sharply with the mirror-polished sloped chamfers.
Constructed from solid 316L links with alternating finishes. The double-fold deployant clasp features the engraved Calatrava cross and snaps shut with correct tension tolerances.
Why 3KF for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: “Why not ZF?”
The choice between 3KF and ZF primarily comes down to the movement architecture and resulting case thickness. ZF utilizes a decorated Miyota 9015, which forces the case to be slightly thicker (around 8.8mm) and introduces unidirectional rotor noise. 3KF’s proprietary clone movement allows for the genuine 8.3mm thickness, a quieter rotor mechanism, and a superior visual experience through the sapphire caseback.
Full Disclosure: The 3KF date wheel font is marginally thicker than the genuine specification, and the dial lume possesses a faint green daylight hue compared to the stark white of the original.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the 3KF 5167 use a Miyota 9015 movement?
A: No. Unlike the ZF version, the 3KF utilizes a proprietary Super Clone 324 S C movement. This caliber is reverse-engineered to mimic the genuine architecture, which allows the watch to achieve the correct 8.3mm case thickness.
Q: Will the seconds hand stop when I set the time?
A: No. The Clone 324 movement is non-hacking, meaning the sweep seconds hand continues to run while you adjust the time. This behavior is technically accurate to the genuine Patek Philippe Caliber 324.
Q: Can I swap the steel bracelet for a rubber strap later?
A: Yes, the 3KF case lugs accept standard Aquanaut rubber straps. However, fitting aftermarket or genuine composite straps may require slight modification to the spring bar holes or the strap ends to achieve a seamless fit against the case.
Q: What is the most notable visual flaw on the 3KF 5167/1A?
A: The primary known quirk is the daylight color of the luminescent material on the hands and indices. It exhibits a slight greenish tint in natural light, whereas the genuine article appears stark white. Additionally, the date font is marginally thicker than OEM specifications.
