1. Model Overview — The Spirit of Modern Adventure
Nicknamed the “Khaki Green Aquanaut,” the 5168G-010 features a matte olive-green dial and a matching tropical rubber strap, both reflecting Patek Philippe’s youthful yet refined energy. The white gold original is perfectly translated into the super clone world by 3K Factory and PPF Factory, achieving unparalleled color fidelity and case polishing.

3. Dial & Hands — The Heart of the 5168G’s Personality
| Feature | Genuine 5168G | KB Factory | PPF Factory | 3K Factory |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dial Color | Khaki Green Gradient | Bright olive | Matte green | Correct smoky gradient |
| Embossing Pattern | Deep 3D grid | Flat stamped | Laser-cut | CNC relief 1:1 |
| Indexes | White gold applied | Painted | Steel-plated | Rhodium-applied |

The green dial has a subtle depth shift — from moss green at the center to darker khaki around the edges. The 3K Factory achieves this effect using multi-layer lacquer spraying, identical to the genuine gradient.

6. Aurora’s Cleanvsfactory Commentary
“Among the Aquanauts, the 5168G green edition feels the most alive. The 3K Factory’s gradient dial is phenomenal — it reacts to light just like the original white gold version. PPF’s execution, on the other hand, offers unbeatable realism for the price.”
Aurora describes this model as “the bridge between casual and luxury — where precision engineering meets human emotion.”
